Description
This document discusses Startup Test Program for the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) which has been formulated to demonstrate that the DWPF can be operated in a safe, environmentally responsible manner to produce a product that will meet the requirements of the Waste Acceptance Preliminary Specifications. Startup will be managed in four distinct phases: Integrated Water Runs, Cold Chemical Runs, Waste Qualification Runs, and Radioactive Operation. A variety of feeds will be used for Waste Qualification Runs. Initial operation will commence with a composite feed with characteristics designed to approximate those of the initial waste glass. All equipment critical to radioactive operation of the DWPF will be tested to demonstrate the ability of DWPF to produce a product suitable for eventual geological disposal.
