Title: Single shell tank sluicing history and failure frequency

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/11238· OSTI ID:11238

This document assesses the potential for failure of the single-shell tanks (SSTs) that are presumably sound and helps to establish the retrieval priorities for these and the assumed leakers. Furthermore, this report examines probabilities of SST failure as a function of age and operational history, and provides a simple statistical summary of historical leak volumes, leak rates, and corrosion factor.
