Title: SAFETY EVALUATION OF OXALIC ACID WASTE RETRIEVAL IN SINGLE SHELL TANK (SST) 241-C-106

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/814772· OSTI ID:814772

This report documents the safety evaluation of the process of retrieving sludge waste from single-shell tank 241-C-106 using oxalic acid. The results of the HAZOP, safety evaluation, and control allocation/decision are part of the report. This safety evaluation considers the use of oxalic acid to recover residual waste in single-shell tank (SST) 241-C-106. This is an activity not addressed in the current tank farm safety basis. This evaluation has five specific purposes: (1) Identifying the key configuration and operating assumptions needed to evaluate oxalic acid dissolution in SST 241-C-106. (2) Documenting the hazardous conditions identified during the oxalic acid dissolution hazard and operability study (HAZOP). (3) Documenting the comparison of the HAZOP results to the hazardous conditions and associated analyzed accident currently included in the safety basis, as documented in HNF-SD-WM-TI-764, ''Hazard Analysis Database Report''. (4) Documenting the evaluation of the oxalic acid dissolution activity with respect to Accident analyses described in HNF-SD-WM-SAR-067, ''Tank Farms Final Safety Analysis Report'' (FSAR). (5)Controls specified in HNF-SD-WM-TSR-006, ''Tank Farms Technical Safety Requirements'' (TSR). Documenting the process and results of control decisions as well as the applicability of preventive and/or mitigative controls to each oxalic acid addition hazardous condition.
