Savannah River Plant saltstone - Formulation variability and operating limits
Description
Saltstone is the Savannah River Plant wasteform resulting from chemical reactions between low-level defense waste and cementitious solids. Operating limits for the saltstone process were derived from waste specifications, dry solids feed specifications, and proportioning limits. Specifications for the waste salt solution include limits on temperature, pH, concentrations of eight inorganic and two organic constituents, total radioactivity, total alpha activity, and concentrations of 13 radionuclides. Specifications for the cementitious solids are based on ASTM standards. Proportioning limits for dry solids and for blended solids to waste solution ratio were based on an experimental design that screened formulations on the basis of processability and leachability (potential impact to groundwater)
