Analysis of Exposure during Transportation of Waste to the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) - 20445

Safety is a priority for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Management (EM) Nevada Program. This commitment to safety is integrated into requirements and work procedures at DOE sites across the U.S. that generate low-level radioactive waste, mixed low-level radioactive waste, and classified waste that is transported to the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) for permanent disposal. Generators of this waste are responsible for ensuring it is packaged and transported in a safe and compliant manner. These generators and their contracted commercial carriers must comply with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations; the Nevada National Security Site Waste Acceptance Criteria (NNSSWAC); and other applicable federal, state, and local regulations and requirements. This includes packaging and shipping the waste to meet DOT regulatory radiation dose limits to ensure public safety during transportation. NNSS waste generators have a solid safety record for complying with these stringent regulations as demonstrated by the fact that no shipments exceeding DOT dose rate limits were received at the NNSS Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC) during FY 2014 through FY 2018. A 2005 study conducted by the Desert Research Institute validated shipments to the NNSS comply with DOT radiation dose limits. In response to recent Nevada stakeholder requests for an updated study, an analysis was conducted to verify and provide evidence that the public continues to be safe from exposure to radioactive waste shipment to the NNSS. Radiation exposure from radioactive waste shipments in transit to the NNSS was evaluated. Three studies were performed: 1. Confirm compliance of waste shipments to the DOT radiation limits using dose rate surveys taken at the generator site and at the disposal site. 2. Estimate the dose to the public from waste shipments using the dosimetry results for disposal site personnel by comparing time of exposure for various individuals/scenarios. 3. Estimate the truck driver dose using the receipt dose rate surveys and time of exposure, and from dosimetry results. Study 1 confirmed compliance with the DOT dose rate limits for a sample of waste shipments (123 of 1,038) received during fiscal year (FY) 2017. Study 2 showed that the average annual radiation equivalent dose for disposal site personnel during FY 2017 was approximately 6.7% [0.415 mSv (41.5 millirem)] of the annual average dose that a person living in the U.S. receives from all sources [6.2 mSv (620 mrem)]. Maximum dose to a member of the public, a person resting/sleeping in an adjacent truck at a rest area to a waste shipment, was 0.0166 mSv (1.66 mrem), which is less than the dose received from a person taking a round trip from the east coast to the west coast of the continental U.S. on an airplane [0.07 mSv (7 mrem) per round trip]. Study 3 showed that the truck driver who made the most shipments of radioactive waste to the NNSS, who drove the most hours (estimated time of exposure 2,520 hours), during FY 2017 had a total dose of 0.15 mSv (15 mrem), which was obtained from their personal dosimeter. The annual dose recorded for disposal site personnel, the dose estimates for the public, and the truck driver dose were all a small percentage of the average radiation dose a person receives from all sources (e.g., background and medical radiation). At these levels, risk should only be described qualitatively. Radiation exposure from radioactive waste shipments to the NNSS were shown to be compliant with the DOT dose rate limits, safe, and very low (i.e., within background levels). (authors)

Evaluation of Technologies to Mitigate the Presence of Gaseous Elemental Mercury in Waste Disposal Containers

A study was conducted to evaluate sorbent technologies that can mitigate the presence of elemental mercury (Hg⁰) in waste containers for mercury-contaminated debris (MCD). Decontamination and demolition (D&D) activities at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12) and other U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) facilities generate MCD requiring offsite disposal. The debris is packaged in appropriate waste containers and may be temporarily stored onsite prior to transport for treatment and/or disposal. During transportation of loads that had no visible liquid Hg at the point of origin, temperature changes can cause Hg⁰ to evaporate, condense, and form droplets on container walls. Furthermore, vibration during transportation could cause beads of Hg to be released from the debris, container walls, and ceiling, resulting in pools of liquid Hg⁰ on the container floor. Waste acceptance criteria (WAC) limitations for commercial disposal facilities, the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), and ORR mixed low-level waste landfills prohibit the presence of any free liquids in containers identified as a solid waste form. Potential solutions to mitigate the presence of residual liquids that could be formed through vapor condensation include the use of sorbents or similar materials to capture and stabilize volatile Hg⁰ vapors and thus ensure compliance with landfill WAC requirements. This report summarizes data from small-scale laboratory experiments conducted to evaluate sorbent materials for Hg⁰ vapor suppression and sorption of liquid Hg⁰ that could form under relevant transportation and disposal conditions. A series of experiments was conducted to evaluate commercial sorbent materials and their effectiveness for Hg⁰ sorption across a temperature range from 19.4°C to 60°C. The impact of residual moisture on sorption was investigated under relevant conditions, and leaching tests were performed to assess the stability of Hg⁰ captured sorbent materials. The results provide estimates for sorbent quantities needed for a given Hg⁰ mass loading based on experimental results exposing sorbents to gaseous and liquid Hg⁰ at various mass ratios. Overall, sorbents that were most effective for Hg⁰ vapor suppression were brominated activated carbons, mackinawite-based sorbents coated on vermiculite, and sulfur-modified granular activated carbon. Elevated temperatures and moisture conditions did not result in significant increases of Hg⁰ headspace concentrations, and the materials also demonstrated high sorption capacities for the sorption of liquid Hg⁰.

RH-TRU Waste Streams: HFDA Crucibles Create New Complex Waste Stream

This project focuses on the removal of the Hot Fuel Dissolution Apparatus (HFDA) crucibles from the Hot Fuel Examination Facility’s (HFEF) hot cells to create space for upcoming projects. The project team has created a crucible and pyro-salt non-debris waste stream that can be disposed of at Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). Chemical Compatibility Examinations (CCEs) must be performed on candidate waste by reviewing the types of chemicals used in the experiments, information found in INL Process Knowledge Summary Reports (PKSRs), and Environmental Protection Agency guides on chemical compatibility. The CCEs identify which chemicals can be safely combined to ensure adverse reactions do not occur in the waste packages. The CCEs are then used to update the PKSR, Basis of Knowledge, and Acceptable Knowledge documents and demonstrate compliance with the WIPP Waste Acceptance Criteria. Once documents are finalized, they are reviewed and approved by the WIPP Central Characterization Project (CCP) to ensure proper waste stream characterization. After the documents are approved, the crucibles can be packaged and shipped to the Idaho Nuclear Technical and Engineering Center for storage awaiting certification. CCP will certify the waste using the approved documents and a series of confirmatory testing before being shipped and disposed in WIPP’s deep geological repository. Currently, the CCE is in progress and the PKSRs are being updated.

Flanged Tritium Waste Containers: Background and Current Path to Disposal

The MLLW Flanged Tritium Waste Container (FTWC) Project has been operational since 2007 when, during an audit of the FTWC waste stream, it was determined that four FTWC containers contained lead in amounts greater than LDR treatment standards. From June to August of 2007, four FTWC containers were shipped to TA-54 for disposal as LLW from WETF. The contents of the FTWCs were characterized as high activity LLW and were thought to be in compliance with LANL's Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC). During the packaging of these FTWC's, 36 intact squib valves (aka actuators), containing detonated squibs were included with the waste stream After being transported to TA-54 Area G, it was determined that the explosive used in some of the squibs was Normal Lead Styphnate (NLS). A recharacterization of the entire contents in the FTWC's was performed with the conclusion that the squib valves exhibited the RCRA toxic characteristic for Lead (D008), thus resulting in the contents of the FTWCs being reclassified as a Mixed LLW.

The Effects of Beta Irradiation on the Performance of ATR Fiber Probes

The use of real-time inline monitoring to track the chemical composition of slurries is recognized as a promising method to reduce the processing time of Hanford tank waste. The conversion of waste into glass suitable for long-term storage requires adherence to waste acceptance criteria and process control limits that respectively ensure safe operation of the vitrification facility and suitable glass quality. Real-time measurements of blended waste materials can ensure that the various criteria are met or can be addressed in a timely manner.

FY25 Ion Exchange Processing for the West Area Risk Management (WARM) Project

The West Area Risk Management (WARM) Project was established to enable near-term retrieval and pretreatment of tank waste from Hanford’s 200 West Area and to support deployment of an ion exchange (IX) system capable of producing cesium-depleted supernate suitable for offsite treatment and disposal. The WARM experimental campaign was designed to provide key data for design and operational planning of the 200 W IX system, which plans to utilize crystalline silicotitanate (CST) as the active media for cesium removal. This report documents a comprehensive FY25 experimental campaign designed to produce key technical data required for design and operational planning of the WARM IX system. Testing includes assessing Cs and Sr breakthrough performance in a 4-column system, Cs capacity batch contact testing, phosphate precipitation assessments, reduced-hydroxide feed displacement evaluation, and Sr speciation impacts on Sr removal. The experimental results provide detailed trends in Cs and Sr loading behavior, breakthrough performance across a 4-column staged IX system, distribution profiles within CST beds, and projections of operational flowrates relative to Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) limits. Batch contact testing established equilibrium partitioning behavior for the S1–S5 simulants and characterized how matrix chemistry influenced Cs sorption onto CST. Additionally, further evaluations on waste matrix as it pertains to precipitation potential were also determined. Collectively, these datasets support engineering design choices for WARM system throughput and pretreatment planning.

Tank 50H Mixing Pump Run Time Reassessment

Tank 50H is required to operate a single rotating standard slurry pump for 4.5 hours prior to transfers to the Salt Solution Receipt Tanks (SSRTs) in the Saltstone Production Facility (SPF). This mixing time is required to adequately mix miscible and immiscible liquids within Tank 50H and meet the Saltstone Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC). The miscible liquids are aqueous solutions of dissolved salts, while the immiscible liquids include organic droplets such as Isopar® L. To support the accelerated salt processing rates from the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF), a desire to reduce the transfer time of Decontaminated Salt Solution (DSS) downstream of SWPF was identified. This document describes the analysis performed to reassess the technical basis for the 4.5 hour mixing requirement for Tank 50H.

Saltstone Waste Characterization Analysis - Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) Waste Stream (Q4 CY2020)

The Saltstone Production and Disposal Facility is designed and permitted by the state of South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) to treat and dispose of low-level radioactive and hazardous liquid waste (salt solution) remaining from the processing of radioactive material at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Low-level waste (LEW) aqueous streams from the Effluent Treatment Project (ETP) and decontaminated solutions from the Tank Closure Cesium Removal Unit (TCCR) and the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) are stored in Tank 50 until the LEW can be transferred to the Saltstone Facility for treatment and disposal. In the past, decontaminated solution from the Modular Caustic Side Solvent Extraction Unit (MCU) was stored in Tank 50 until the LEW could be transferred to the Saltstone Facility for treatment and disposal. MCU is currently in a suspended operations state. LEW that meets the Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) can be transferred, stored, and treated in the Saltstone Production Facility (SPF) for subsequent disposal as saltstone grout in the Saltstone Disposal Facility (SDF). Sampling will be conducted as new waste streams are identified for treatment and disposal at the Saltstone Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility (IWTF) and Z-Area Industrial Solid Waste Landfill (ISWLF), Facility ID# 025500-1603, General Condition B.9 or every six years in accordance with South Carolina (SC) Regulation 61-107.19 Parti C, “Solid Waste Management: Solid Waste Landfills and Structural Fill - General Requirements.”

Using Best Basis Inventory Data to Direct Strategies for Real Time Monitoring of Hanford High Level Waste – 26226

The potential to accelerate the processing of low- and high-level tank waste by applying real-time monitoring (RTM) of chemical and physical properties has prompted research into the suitability of multiple analytical methods for that purpose. The broad variety of waste stream properties and the large number of analytes of interest (as evidenced by Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) and Process Control Limit (PCL) lists) lead to an overwhelming set of possible analytical scenarios. This report describes the use of Best Basis Inventory (BBI) data to find the most relevant analytical targets for the specific case of monitoring the blending of High Level Waste from multiple tanks prior to introduction into a vitrification facility. Campaigns for blending this waste to minimize the risk of exceeding WACs and PCLs have been proposed. However, the predicted compositions of the blended materials do not incorporate any uncertainties that may be associated with the representativeness of the waste layer samples or the laboratory analyses that generated the BBI data. Also, they do not include any uncertainty associated with the precision of collecting highly specific fractions of the layers during a blending campaign or any inhomogeneities that may exist in those layers. Monte Carlo methods are used to apply uncertainties to the compositions of the individual layers specified in the campaign recipes. The resulting variations in the compositions of the blended materials allow estimation of the risks of exceeding WACs and PCLs for each campaign. A critical subset of WACs/PCLs – NOx, NaK, AlFeZr, and S – are especially at risk of being exceeded in multiple campaigns. These analytes should be the focus of instrument development. We also have extracted the expected solid/supernate distribution for these analytes, which establishes important performance criteria for individual analytical methods. The BBI data also permits an understanding of the different chemical forms in which the analytes appear. Thus, the need to establish instrumental sensitivity to these forms can be gainfully addressed. Although concentrating on one specific application – the blending of tank waste - this approach should be generalizable for the analysis of other possible RTM applications for waste processing.

Using Best Basis Inventory Data to Direct Strategies for Real-Time Monitoring of Hanford High Level Waste

The proposed Direct Feed High Level Waste (DFHLW) approach for processing high-level tank waste at Hanford is intended to reduce processing time by bypassing the Pretreatment Facility and transferring waste directly from the tank farm to the WTP HLW vitrification facility. This processing strategy could reduce or eliminate the washing and leaching steps that would have occurred in the Pretreatment facility. Operation of the vitrification facility is subject to chemical and radiological limits protecting safety (e.g. Waste Acceptance Criteria, or WACs) and process quality (e.g. Process Control Limits, or PCLs). Without washing and leaching, there is a greater risk of exceeding the WACs and PCLs. Hanford process engineers have devised blending strategies based on known chemical and radiological composition, volumes, and solids loadings of individual layers within each waste tank. These blending campaigns succeed in predicting a processing strategy that does not exceed the WACs and PCLs. However, the calculations do not ascribe uncertainties to the tank analysis data, quantities of material taken from the tanks to make the blend, or potential for mixing of layers within tanks. In order to confirm that a process strategy is working, it would be advantageous to have inline or at-line analytical instrumentation installed in the processing facilities that deliver measurement results in real time.

Ion Exchange Processing of AP-105 Hanford Tank Waste through Crystalline Silicotitanate in a Staged 2- then 3-Column System

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is working to expedite processing of Hanford tank waste supernate at the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP). To support this goal, Washington River Protection Solutions, LLC (WRPS, Richland, WA) is designing a system for suspended solids and cesium (Cs/ 137 Cs) removal from Hanford tank waste supernate. The effluent will then be sent to the WTP Low-Activity Waste (LAW) Facility for vitrification. The Cs removal is critical for eliminating the high dose rate associated with 137 Cs and facilitating a contact maintenance philosophy for the LAW Facility. The maximum 137 Cs concentration in the LAW sent to the WTP is targeted to be below the 3.18E-5 Ci 137 Cs/mole of Na waste acceptance criteria (WAC) limit. The filtration and ion exchange systems will be placed near the Hanford tanks and are collectively termed the Tank Side Cesium Removal (TSCR) system.

Tank Side Cesium Removal System Project and Technology Maturation Program - 20101

Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) is the Tank Operating Contractor (TOC) for the U.S. Department of Energy-Office of River Protection (DOE-ORP) on the Hanford Site. The Hanford Site stores an estimated 56 million gallons of mixed radioactive and chemically hazardous waste in large underground tanks. WRPS is in the process of designing the Tank Side Cesium Removal (TSCR) system to produce a Low Activity Waste (LAW) feed from existing mixed Hanford tank waste. The LAW will be transferred to the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) LAW Vitrification Facility, where it will be immobilized in a durable glass waste form for disposal. The TSCR Project demonstrates a tank-side treatment system for providing feed to the WTP LAW Vitrification Facility. This system removes undissolved solids and cesium from tank waste supernatant using non-elutable ion exchange media to meet the applicable waste acceptance criteria for the WTP. In support of the project, technology testing has been performed to answer design questions and reduce risk. The project scope and technology testing approach are presented. (authors)

Acetonitrile Destruction in ETF Feed Solutions by UV/OX and Persulfate (Final Report)

The Hanford Site Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF) currently treats aqueous waste streams that include condensates from the 242-A evaporator, leachate from the Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility (ERDF), as well as laboratory wastes and, in the future, will treat liquid effluents from the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) and Integrated Disposal Facility (IDF) leachate. Liquid effluents from the WTP will have significant concentrations of acetonitrile. Acetonitrile is formed by reaction of nitrates and sugar in the WTP low activity waste (LAW) melters and is prevalent in the submerged bed scrubber (SBS) and wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) liquid effluents from WTP off-gas treatment. When these liquids are concentrated in the WTP Effluent Management Facility (EMF) evaporator in the direct feed low activity waste (DFLAW) flow-sheet, testing has shown that the majority of the acetonitrile partitions to the evaporator condensate. Since the evaporator condensate is directed to the ETF, this creates a potential issue with the ETF waste acceptance criteria and, specifically, the ETF Delisting Modification treatability envelope limits. Consequently, there is a need to assess possible mitigation approaches, one of which involves identification and assessment of potential treatment processes to destroy the acetonitrile, which is the subject of the present report.
