Description/Abstract:
A VIEW OF THE OPERATING GALLERY WHICH TRAVELS THE LENGTH OF THE 800 FO OT LONG WASTE FRACTIONIZATION PLANT WHERE CESIUM AND STRONTIUM ARE REM OVED FROM WASTES GENERATED DURING THE REPROCESSING OF HANFORD REACTOR FUELS. OPERATING PERSONNEL MONITOR AND CONTROL THE ION EXCHANGE AND S OLVENT EXTRACTION PROCESSES USED IN THE RECOVERY OF THE HIGH HEAT EMIT TING ISOTOPES. THE CESIUM AND STRONTIUM WILL BE ENCAPSULATED IN DOUBL E WALLED METAL CONTAINERS AND STORED UNDER WATER IN AN ADJOINING FACIL ITY. THE REMAINING WASTE IS BEING EVAPORATED TO SOILID MATERIAL IN UN DERGROUND STORAGE TANKS.
