Melt Rate Assessment of SB/2/3 with Frit 418 - Effects of Waste Loading and Acid Addition

Description: Preparations are being made by the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) to blend Sludge Batch 2 (SB2) with Sludge Batch 3 (SB3) (blend referred to as SB2/3), and implement a frit change from Frit 320 to Frit 418. A series of dry-fed tests have been performed to investigate the effect of waste loading (WL) on the melt rate of the SB2/3-Frit 418 system. As was observed in the SB2-Frit 320 system, dry-fed melt rate furnace (MRF) tests of the SB2/3-Frit 418 system showed that melt rate decrease… more

Special Analysis: Radionuclides Screening Analysis for E Area

Description: It was recently discovered that waste being disposed of onsite contained radionuclides that had not been analyzed by the Performance Assessment (PA). These radionuclides had been eliminated from the PA in an earlier screening evaluation because they were not expected to be contained in SRS-generated waste or that received from offsite generators. This Special Analysis (SA) is being prepared to establish the screening criteria and level of evaluation for all radionuclides potentially significant… more

Evaluation of Proposed New LLW Disposal Activity: Disposal of PCB Waste Containing Unanalyzed Radionuclides

Description: A number of low-level waste containers that also have PCBs in them contain radionuclides that have not been analyzed in a Performance Assessment. A simple bounding analysis (i.e.,assigning the most restrictive of the trench radionuclide limits to each of the unanalyzed radionuclides and adjusting for differences in Maximum Contaminant Level for selected radionuclides) shows that disposal of these radionuclides will not compromise performance objectives. One intent as expressed in the performanc… more

On The Impact of Borescope Camera Air Purge on DWPF Melter Off-Gas Flammability

Description: DWPF Engineering personnel requested that a new minimum backup film cooler air flow rate, which will meet the off-gas safety basis limits for both normal and seismic sludge-only operations, be calculated when the air purge to the borescope cameras is isolated from the melter. Specifically, it was requested that the latest calculations which were used to set the off-gas flammability safety bases for the sludge batch 2 and 3 feeds be revised, while maintaining all other process variables affectin… more

Fluid Effects on Shear for Seismic Waves in Finely Layered Porous Media

Description: Although there are five effective shear moduli for any layered VTI medium, one and only one effective shear modulus of the layered system (namely the uniaxial shear) contains all the dependence of pore fluids on the elastic or poroelastic constants that can be observed in vertically polarized shear waves. Pore fluids can increase the magnitude the shear energy stored in this modulus by an amount that ranges from the smallest to the largest effective shear moduli of the VTI system. But, since th… more
