Creators

Description

This document describes the canisters of borosilicate glass waste to be produced at the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant. Each area of the anticipated waste acceptance requirements is addressed and contains estimates of the nominal chemical compositions and radionuclide inventories in the waste canister expected for the four waste feed types in the current Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant mission. The resulting heat generation rates and surface dose rates expected for these waste canisters also are indicated. The bases for meeting the various anticipated waste acceptance requirements are described briefly. 19 refs., 8 figs., 10 tabs
