Making Space: Hanford Prepares Key Tank for Waste Treatment Mission
www.energy.gov
Making Space: Hanford Prepares Key Tank for Waste Treatment MissionWRPS and parent company, Amentum, encourage employees to think “outside the tank.” How do you get “hard pan” or mineralized radioactive waste out of a tank when current technology won’t do the job?
The answer: Innovate. Draw on experience and industry knowledge to create the Mechanical Waste Gathering System (see photo). If the prototype is successful, the challenge of getting waste out of suspected leaking tanks without adding water will be achieved. Upon success, the technology may assist in future waste retrieval activities.
