“…Criteria for transfer of waste slurries through the ICPL require the concentration of suspended solids to be <5 wt % and the maximum particle size to be 100 µm (Hylton and Bayne, 1999). The SMTL was designed to provide real-time monitoring of the radioactive slurry conditions before and during waste transfers to the MVST.…”

“…Ultrasonic devices for measuring both density and fluid velocity within a pipe exist (Hylton and Bayne 1999;Greenwood and Bamberger 2000), but at its current stage of development, the technology does not appear to provide the accuracy or reliability that is obtained with commercially available Coriolis and EM meters. No further discussion of ultrasonic technologies will be presented.…”

SummaryPacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers developed a material balance assessment methodology based on conservation of mass to detect possible waste leaking and mis-routings during the pipeline transfer of double-shell tank waste with variable waste properties and tank conditions at Hanford. It is intended to be a backup method to pit leak detectors.The main factors causing variable waste properties and tank conditions are waste density changes caused by chemical reactions and gas generation/retention/release, the existence of a crust layer, and waste surface disturbance due to mixer pump operation during the waste transfer. If waste properties and tank conditions were constant, this mass-based material balance methodology could be simplified to a volume-based material balance.The material balance assessment methodology was applied to three waste transfers: AN-105 first transfer of 911,400 gallons of in-line diluted supernatant liquid; AN-105 second transfer with 673,000 gallons of liquid waste; and AZ-102 slurry transfer of 150,000 gallons. Three instrumentation setups were considered: (A) feed and receiver tank levels and diluent flow meter; (B) flow meter at the beginning of the transfer pipeline and receiver tank level; and (C) diluent, feed, and receiver tank levels.
