Chemical Process Alternatives for Radioactive Waste: Evaluation of FIU’s Solid-Liquid Interface Monitor (SLIM) for Estimating the Onset of Deep Sludge Gas Release Events
Sponsor – DOE The ability to monitor the interface between liquids containing suspended solids and settled solids in HLW tanks has multiple, important applications at Hanford including: Measurement of the height of HLW solids added to double-shelled tanks to ensure it is below the critical value determined from a safety basis; Imaging in single-shelled tanks to support pump emplacement to minimize plugging potential; Rapid imaging of the floors of mixing,…
