“…Action: Implement the transfer system upgrades (HLW Option 3) recommended in Galbraith et al (1996) and consistent with the "Base Case" waste transfer schedule described in this document.…”

“…Status: The W-211 and W-314 schedules and scope are being modified so they are consistent with Galbraith et al (1996) and the TWRS O&UP.…”

“…1996), and it is concluded that the proposed system will be sufficient to complete the necessary waste transfers. The transfer system recommended by Galbraith et al (1996) is based on a viscosity of 10.0 CP and a specific gravity of 1.5. These values were used as a conservative basis, and measurements of these properties for the washed solids from 241-AZ-101 and 241-AZ-102, as reported in tank characterization reports, are within this range.…”

Phase I high-level waste pretreatment and feed staging plan

“…This study is part of an integrated effort that includes the following documents: (Certa et al 1996) Operational Waste Volume Projection (Koreski and Strode 1996) Initial Retrieval Sequence and Blending Strategy (Penwell et al 1996) Neutralized Current Acid Waste Consolidation Management Pian (Powell 1996) Tank Waste Remediation System Phase I High-Level Waste Feed Processability Assessment Report (Lambert and Stegen 1996) Decision Document for Phase I Privatization Transfer System Needs (Galbraith et al 1996) TWRS Privatization Process Technical Baseline (Orme 1996).…”

“…The basis is to pretreat the Phase I sludges and stage them sequentially from separate tanks to the private contractor's facility using existing transfer lines to the extent possible. Several waste transfer system routings, including new lines and upgrades, were evaluated to determine the preferred alternative for use in this study (Galbraith et al 1996).…”
