Approximately 130 million L of High-Level Waste (HLW, the radioactive waste product associated with the dissolution of spent nuclear fuel rods for the recovery of weapons grade material) reside in subsurface tanks awaiting treatment at the Savannah River Site (SRS). The currently proposed designs for the Salt Processing Facility at the SRS include use of monosodium titanate (MST) to remove and concentrate the strontium and actinides (uranium, plutonium and neptunium) from HLW salt solutions. However, the River Protection Program (RPP) at the Hanford Site in Washington State proposes use of permanganate addition for strontium and actinide removal from Hanford HLW.
