Composition Measurements of the LAW ALG Glasses

This report provides the results from the chemical analyses of glass compositions for the Low-Activity Waste Algorithm study glasses, a series of simulated nuclear waste glasses designed and fabricated at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. These data will be used in the development, validation, and implementation of enhanced property/composition models for waste glass vitrification at Hanford. Chemical analyses were performed on a representative sample of each of the quenched glasses to allow for comparisons with targeted compositions. The relative differences between the targeted and measured concentrations of SO 3 for most of the glasses were greater than 10%. The relative differences between the targeted and measured concentration of F- was greater than 10% for one glass. The relative differences between the targeted and measured concentration of SnO 2 was greater than 10% for one glass. These results can be used in further characterization of this series of glasses, including the normalization of Product Consistency Test results.

Product Consistency Test Results for the Environmental Management Headquarters (EMHQ) Low-Activity Waste (LAW) Glasses

This report provides the results of the Product Consistency Test leachates from the Environmental Management Headquarters Low-Activity Waste glasses, a series of simulated nuclear waste glasses designed and fabricated at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The series included quenched versions of the glasses. These data will be used in the development, validation, and implementation of enhanced property/composition models for waste glass vitrification at Hanford. The measured concentrations of the analytes in the test blank samples were below detection limits. The measured concentrations of B, Li, Na, and Si in the Approved Reference Material-1 samples included with the Product Consistency Tests fell within control chart values indicating proper test performance. The measured glass compositions for the study glasses were close to target values: therefore, little difference was seen when evaluating the normalized values using the targeted or measured glass compositions. The $NC_B$, $NC_{Na}$, and $NC_{Si}$ values were less than the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant low-activity waste constraint of 4 g/L for all glasses.

Potential for Evaporation and In Situ Reaction of Organic Compounds in Hanford Supplemental LAW

The presence of regulated organic species in Hanford nuclear tank waste is assessed in this report, along with fate of the organics and possible evaporative treatment. A narrowed list of regulated organic species of concern is developed based upon published analyses, chemical properties like aqueous solubility, and chemical reactivity under alkaline conditions. Published analyses include tank headspace and liquid samples, review of chemical reagents formerly used at Hanford, and the Tank Waste Information Network System (TWINS). This work supports possible stabilization of Hanford Supplemental Low Activity Waste (SLAW) by grouting.

Materials for Tc Capture to Increase Tc Retention in Glass Waste Form

99Technetium is a long-lived fission product found in the tank waste at the Hanford site in Washington State. In its heptavalent species, it is volatile at the temperatures used in Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant vitrification melters, and thus is challenging to incorporate into waste glass. In order to decrease volatility and thereby increase retention, technetium can be converted into more thermally stable species. Several mineral phases, such as spinel, are able to incorporate tetravalent technetium in a chemically durable and thermally stable lattice, and these hosts may promote the decreased volatility that is desired. In order to be usefully implemented, there must be a synthetic rout to these phases that is compatible with both technetium chemistry and current Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant design. Synthetic routes for spinel and other potential host phases are examined.
