Preliminary flowsheet for the conversion of Hanford high-level waste to glass

M.M. Beary, L.A. Chick, Patrick C. Ely, S.A. Gott

Abstract

The flowsheets describe a process for converting waste removed from the Hanford underground waste tanks to more immobile form. The process involves a chemical separation of the radionuclides from industrial chemicals, and then making glass from the resulting small volume of highly radioactive waste. Removal of Sr, actinides, cesium, and technetium is discussed.
