Abstract

The Tank Side Cesium Removal (TSCR) system, currently operated by Washington River Protection Solutions, LLC, prepares Hanford waste tank supernate feeds for the Low-Activity Waste Facility at the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP). In addition to entrained solids removal from the supernate, the primary goal of TSCR is to remove cesium-137 (137Cs) by ion exchange (IX), allowing contact handling of the liquid effluent product at the WTP as governed by a waste acceptance criterion (WAC). Specific to 137Cs, this requirement is
