The current waste retrieval plan for Hanford double-shell Tank 241-AY-102 (AY-102) calls for using two mixer pumps to mix the waste stored within it. The objective of this evaluation was to determine whether two rotating 300-hp pumps located 22 ft (6.7 m) from the center of the tank could adequately mix the AY-102 waste. The tank now contains 248 in. (6.3 m) of high-level radioactive waste consisting of 62 in. (1.58 m) of sludge and 186 in. (4.72 m) of supernatant liquid. Based on the available data, AY-102 waste properties were determined, including the densities of the liquid and the mostly agglomerated settled (bulk) solids (the sludge) and solid particles, the solid volume fraction in the settled solids, the solid particle size distribution, the liquid and slurry viscosities, and the yield stress in shear (shear strength) of the settled solids layer. To evaluate the likely and bounding cases of AY-102 waste mixing, sludge erosion modeling was performed with a median value of 1,090 Pa (likely condition) and a conservative (more difficult to erode) 97.5 percentile value of 2,230 Pa for shear strength. According to the AY-102 model predictions, the two rotating mixer pumps would erode 89% of the sludge that has a shear strength of 1,090 Pa up to 41 ft (12.5 m) away from the mixer pumps. However, due to the tank wall effect, they would not mobilize the sludge next to the tank wall, which is more than 26 ft (7.9 m) from the pumps. Moreover, the pumps would not mobilize the bottom 2.5 in. (0.06 m) of sludge. Once the sludge was mobilized, the solids were predicted to be uniformly suspended within the tank within a 1-vol% concentration variation (99% uniformity), except those within few inches of the bottom. The two pumps would erode 85% of the sludge with a shear strength of 2,230 Pa, slightly less than the 89% in the 1,090-Pa shear strength case. In this case, the pump jets would mobilize sludge up to 38 ft (11.6 m) away from the pumps. Like the 1,090-Pa shear strength case, the mixer pumps would leave the sludge at the tank wall that is 20 ft (6.1 m) or farther from the pumps due to the wall effect. The model predicts that the bottom 2.5 in. (0.06 m) of sludge remains. Similar to the 1,090-Pa shear strength case, the solids were predicted to be uniformly suspended except within a few inches of the tank bottom. These results indicate that the greater the sludge shear strength, the less the mixer pumps can erode, although the differences are small between the 1,090 and 2,230 Pa cases in erosion amount and maximum erosion distance from the pumps. v
