The Hanford site has 149 single-shell tanks built as early as World War II storing waste until it is transferred to a limited number of tanks that better guard against leaks and then treated for ...
The system analyses rates of change in tank contents (i.e. leakage into or out of the tank). If a leak is found when operating on a single wall system, the product will always be released to the environment before the leak is detected. For tanks there are 2 subclasses of the system.
The tanks are oozing about 960 gallons a year into soil above groundwater that flows toward Columbia River. 2 Hanford tanks are leaking nuclear waste into the ground. Plan to deal with them settled
The Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility (ERDF) is a waste disposal facility located at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Richland, Washington, U.S..Built in 1996, ERDF collects low-level waste, mixed waste, and other hazardous materials that are generated at Hanford.
The Vit Plant will first process Hanford's low-activity waste liquids, starting as soon as 2023, as part of the Department of Energy's Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) approach. Under DFLAW, waste will be sent from the tank farms to the Vit Plant's Low-Activity Waste Facility for vitrification.
Last year officials said one tank may have leaked about 3,000 gallons of waste into the soil. Feds and WA reach deal on leaking Hanford nuclear waste tanks. They won’t be emptied soon
The Department of Energy is going forward with a contract award valued at up to $45 billion to a BWXT-led company to manage the Hanford nuclear site tank farms that store radioactive waste and the ...
PNNL research helped scale a pretreatment method from laboratory testing to a fully operational tank-side cesium removal system that is installed alongside one of Hanford’s underground tanks.
