Aqueous PUREX Solidification in Saltstone

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/812408· OSTI ID:812408
Saltstone samples prepared with simulated aqueous PUREX blended with salt solution hold tank solution meet the processing (gel time, set time, and bleed water) and compressive strength requirements for Z-Area treatment and disposal. New solvent storage tanks contain approximately 900 gallons and 10,800 gallons of the aqueous PUREX waste, respectively. The Solid Waste Division identified stabilization in Saltstone as the preferred treatment for the aqueous fraction of the PUREX waste stored.
