A crew of seven workers at the 242-A Evaporator recently completed a hot-cell window refurbishing project. Refurbishing the current window saved about $600,000 over what it would cost to send it to an outside vendor.
The window consists of two thick lead-glass panes with spaces filled with 40 gallons of mineral oil. As oil ages, it gets dark and contaminated with water. The moisture forms a paraffin wax that clouds the glass. Eventually this can etch the glass, requiring off-site servicing. Sending the window off-site for refurbishing would have required removing a 4,000-pound block of lead glass from the hot side of the window and opening the contaminated pump room. Refurbishing the window only required dismantling the “cold side” of the window.
The 242-A Evaporator is critical to the safe and timely cleanup of Hanford’s tank waste. The evaporator removes moisture from the waste in double-shell tanks, creates storage space for waste retrieved from single-shell tanks. In the evaporator, liquid tank waste is heated under vacuum so it will evaporate at a temperature of about 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Water vapor from the boiling waste is captured, condensed, filtered, sampled and sent to the nearby Liquid Effluent Retention Facility for further treatment and disposal. The concentrated waste is returned to the double-shell tanks.
Since it began operating in 1977, the 242-A Evaporator has reduced the total volume of waste in Hanford’s 28 double-shell storage tanks by 67 million gallons. Managing the liquid volume helps DOE avoid the cost of building new double-shell storage tanks at Hanford, which would cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Poverty and Environment Network (PEN) is an international research project and network. Launched in 2004, PEN is the largest and most comprehensive global analysis of tropical forests and poverty. The study sites were chosen to obtain widely representative coverage of different geographical regions, forest types, forest tenure regimes, levels of poverty, infrastructure and market access, and population density.

For the first time; waste solids are in the process of being retrieved simultaneously from three underground tanks: C-104; C-107 and C-109.Crews are working to remove the last bit of hard heel waste from C-104. Tuesday; crews began a four-week recirculation of caustic in the tank after 15; 000 gallons of sodium hydroxide were added the previous week to begin dissolution of the remaining hard heel. During the recirculation period; the caustic will react with the gibbsite to create a water-soluble salt. After the reaction is complete; the remaining material will be pumped to double-shell tank AN-101 and C-104 will undergo a final rinse.To date; crews have used modified sluicing and hot water washes to remove more than 98 percent of the 259; 000 gallons of waste C-104 contained when retrieval began in January 2010. The Tri-Party Agreement requires that 99 percent of the waste is removed from the single-shell tanks or certain criteria are met regarding limits of technology.Meanwhile; the Mobile Arm Retrieval System (MARS) marches on in tank C-107; having removed nearly 66 percent of the tank’s contents. MARS’ robotic arm has used its high-pressure nozzles to break up waste in C-107 and sweep it to a pump for removal. Its mobility has allowed operators to quickly and skillfully maneuver around obstacles found in the tank that would normally set back retrieval efforts a number of weeks.A third tank; C-109; is in the middle of a water soak aimed to loosen and break down waste solids into a mobile form. Recent sampling shows the hard-to-remove heel is dissolving and slurry pump activities are forecast to occur in July or August. It’s estimated that less than 14 percent of the original starting volume of 63; 000 gallons remains in the tank.All this activity is in addition to the completion of retrieval activities earlier this year in tank C-108; which is awaiting review by the Department of Ecology.
