A Discussion of SY-101 Crust Gas Retention and Release Mechanisms

Description: The flammable gas hazard in Hanford waste tanks was made an issue by the behavior of double-shell Tank (DST) 241-SY-101 (SY-101). Shortly after SY-101 was filled in 1980, the waste level began rising periodically, due to the generation and retention of gases within the slurry, and then suddenly dropping as the gases were released. An intensive study of the tank's behavior revealed that these episodic releases posed a safety hazard because the released gas was flammable, and, in some cases, the … more

The Virtual Manual: Moving from Paper- to Web-Based Documentation

Description: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is implementing an Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) to assure that all environment, safety, and health (ES&H) requirements and practices are integrated into work planning, execution, and feedback. A major component to ISMS is the rewriting of the Laboratory's ES&H documentation to meet federal, state, and local requirements and standards. Previously, the Laboratory's operations documentation was paper-based and decentralized; updates were… more

Final Report: Safety of Plasma Components and Aerosol Transport During Hard Disruptions and Accidental Energy Release in Fusion Reactor

Description: Safety considerations in large future fusion reactors like ITER are important before licensing the reactor. Several scenarios are considered hazardous, which include safety of plasma-facing components during hard disruptions, high heat fluxes and thermal stresses during normal operation, accidental energy release, and aerosol formation and transport. Disruption events, in large tokamaks like ITER, are expected to produce local heat fluxes on plasma-facing components, which may exceed 100 GW/m{s… more
