Abstract

Eleven simulants have been provided to the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) Mechanical Systems & Custom Equipment Development (MSCED) organization to further test the capabilities of the Blend Can Loading System (BCLS). The basis for the materials used in these simulants are based on SRNL-STI-2020-00503, “Simulant Recommendation for the Blend Can Loading System” (Ref. i). The 11 different simulants provided to MSCED are summarized in Table ES-1. This table provides a basis of why they were selected and what properties were specifically targeted, given the composition of the procured materials.

West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) for Calendar Year 2025

The report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy West Valley Demonstration Project office (DOE-WVDP), summarizes the environmental protection program at the WVDP for calendar year (CY) 2025. Monitoring and surveillance of the facilities used by the DOE are conducted to verify protection of public health and safety and the environment. The report is a key component of the DOE’s effort to keep the public informed of environmental conditions at the WVDP. The quality assurance protocols applied to the environmental monitoring program ensure the validity and accuracy of the monitoring data. In addition to demonstrating compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and directives, the evaluation of data collected in 2025 continued to indicate that WVDP activities posed no threat to public health or safety, or to the environment.
