Prior to radioactive operations, the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) will implement a cold-commissioning plan or strategy that will include water runs and other melter feed simulants to not only test the various engineering systems, unit operations, and processing strategies with respect to safety and performance, but to also allow facility operations to gain operational experience before introducing radioactive material into the vitrification facilities. Based on direction from Bechtel National, Inc. to eliminate nitrogen oxide (NOx) generation, EnergySolutions has recommended the use of a simple NaOH solution with glass formers to support this stage of testing during cold commissioning.
