摘要

The West Valley Demonstration Project(WVDP)has successfully completed the retrieval and vitrification of radioactive high-level waste(HLW)from its storage tanks and the subsequent lay-up of the two largest tanks in preparation for future closure.Waste recovery of cesium-137 adsorbed on two zeolite medias during waste pretreatment has resulted in over 95 percent of this radioactivity being vitrified.Greater than 99.5 percent of the long-lived sludge/transuranic radioactivity and 99%of the Sr- 90 have been retrieved from the tanks and vitrified.Approximately 84 percent of the original 1.1x10~18 becquerels(30 million curies)of radioactivity was efficiently retrieved and vitrified from June 1996 to June 1998 during Phase I HLW processing.Recovery of the last HLW took place from June 1998 to September 2001 and was challenging due to a number of factors.The primary factors were the complex internal support structure within the two main 2.8 million-liter(760,000-gallon)HLW tanks,designated Tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2,and the discovery/mitigation of higher-than-expected radioactive deposits on the walls of Tank 8D-2. Recovery of this last waste was exponentially more difficult,as less and less HLW was available to mobilize and vitrify.The WVDP vitrification system was flushed and its melter shut down permanently on September 5,2002. rnFollowing completion of vitrification,approximately 490,000 liters(130,000 gallons)of dilute liquid remained in Tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2. This liquid was retrieved from the tanks in January and February 2003 using specially developed remote equipment to minimize the liquid heel left behind.The tanks were then isolated from further waste additions and placed in a safe,minimum surveillance and maintenance lay-up mode on July 31,2003.Activities completed to accomplish tank lay-up also included deactivation of the Supernatant Treatment System,the pretreatment system for the HLW with most of its process vessels inside Tank 8D-1,and a number of actions to reduce the moisture in the underground vaults and minimize external corrosion of the carbon steel tanks. rnThis paper contrasts the current status of the former HLW tanks against their status prior to the start of the West Valley Demonstration Project,summarizes the HLW pretreatment processes and HLW retrieval for vitrification,reviews waste residual characterization efforts,and describes in detail the recent emptying of Tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2 and their lay-up into a safe,minimum surveillance and maintenance configuration, awaiting a determination on the method/configuration of final tank closure.Major lessons learned during HLW pretreatment,waste retrieval,residual characterization,and tank lay-up are also presented.
