Pipeline Cross-Site Transfer Assessment for Tank 241-SY-101 Waste

摘要

This study evaluated the feasibility of transferring waste stored in Hanford Tank 214-SY-101 (SY-101) in the 200 West Area to a storage tank in the 200 East Area through a 6.2-mile, 3-inchdiameter stainless steel pipeline. The Wasp slurry transport model was used for this assessment. We first conducted validation testing of the Wasp slurry pipe flow model, then applied the Wasp model to calculate the critical velocity and expected pressure drop to determine (1) whether current SY-101 waste can be transferred through the existing cross-site transfer pipeline without additional dilution with water or (2) how much dilution with water would be needed.
