Description

Efforts are under way to gather data on the condition of the metal fuel and associated sludge stored in the water-filled Hanford K Basins. Most of the current data gathering activities are being performed in the basins without fuel movement. These techniques include a video survey of open storage canisters, determination of water/gas levels in sealed canisters, sampling of gas and water from sealed canisters (for chemical analysis) and measurement of sludge depth and sludge volume
