A dynamic simulation model of the Savannah River High Level Waste Tank Farm
A detailed, dynamic simulation model of a 51-tank high level radioactive waste storage and processing complex is being developed using SPEEDUP{sup TM} software. The initial model represents mass transfer, evaporation, precipitation, and sludge washing unit operation processes in about one-third of the tank farm complex through the solution of more than of 1000 coupled differential and algebraic equations, Eight discrete chemical constituents are tracked throughout the unit operations. The model is built upon FORTRAN both automatically generated by SPEEDUP{sup TM} to represent continuous processes, and custom-tailored by ourselves to control batched unit operations. The current model requires under 4 CPU seconds per simulated day on a VAX 8810. Strategies have been developed for expanding the model to the full tank farm complex.
