Title: Assessment of Available Particle Size Data to Support an Analysis of the Waste Feed Delivery System Transfer System

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/804483· OSTI ID:804483

Available data pertaining to size distribution of the particulates in Hanford underground tank waste have been reviewed. Although considerable differences exist between measurement methods, it may be stated with 95% confidence that the median particle size does not exceed 275 {micro}m in at least 95% of the ten tanks selected as sources of HLW feed for Phase 1 vitrification in the RPP. This particle size is recommended as a design basis for the WFD transfer system.
