Hanford Tank Farm Interim Storage Phase Probabilistic Risk Assessment Outline
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
This report is the second in a series examining the risks for the high level waste (HLW) storage facilities at the Hanford Site. The first phase of the HTF PSA effort addressed risks from Tank 101-SY, only. Tank 101-SY was selected as the initial focus of the PSA because of its propensity to periodically release (burp) a mixture of flammable and toxic gases. This report expands the evaluation of Tank 101-SY to all 177 storage tanks. The 177 tanks are arranged into 18 farms and contain the HLW accumulated over 50 years of weapons material production work. A centerpiece of the remediation activity is the effort toward developing a permanent method for disposing of the HLW tank's highly radioactive contents. One approach to risk based prioritization is to perform a PSA for the whole HLW tank farm complex to identify the highest risk tanks so that remediation planners and managers will have a more rational basis for allocating limited funds to the more critical areas. Section 3 presents the qualitative identification of generic initiators that could threaten to produce releases from one or more tanks. In section 4 a detailed accident sequence model is developed for each initiating event group. Section 5 defines the release categories to which the scenarios are assigned in the accident sequence model and presents analyses of the airborne and liquid source terms resulting from different release scenarios. The conditional consequences measured by worker or public exposure to radionuclides or hazardous chemicals and economic costs of cleanup and repair are analyzed in section 6. The results from all the previous sections are integrated to produce unconditional risk curves in frequency of exceedance format.

Criticality Safety Evaluation of Hanford Site High Level Waste Storage Tanks
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
This criticality safety evaluation covers operations for waste in underground storage tanks at the high-level waste tank farms on the Hanford site. This evaluation provides the bases for criticality safety limits and controls to govern receipt, transfer, and long-term storage of tank waste. Justification is provided that a nuclear criticality accident cannot occur for tank farms operations, based on current fissile material and operating conditions.

Pages : 104
Book Description
Hanford Tank Cleanup is a first-of-its-kind report written about the most unique industrial waste ever created by modern industrial society. This waste, some 54 million gallons of radioactive and chemical residue now resting inside 177 underground storage tanks at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Washington State, is part of the nation's 90 million gallon inventory of highly radioactive waste.
