System design for retrieval of solidified high-level wastes at Hanford

  • 1. Rockwell Hanford Operations, Richland, WA

Description

A waste retrieval system has been conceptually designed as a step in the process toward demonstrating the capability to retrieve the projected 36,000,000 gal of radioactive salt cake and sludge wastes from underground storage tanks at Hanford. This functionally complete, totally remotely operable system consists of a large mobile platform containing all the tools and equipment necessary to recover, remove, and package wastes for transfer to an on-site processing facility
