| Abstract |
In 2004, the Department of Energy (DOE) directed Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) to develop a Caustic-Side Solvent Extraction (CSSX) process at the Savannah River Site (SRS) capable of removing cesium from 1 million gallons a year of dissolved salt solution. This facility would provide interim processing for cesium containing salt solution until the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) comes on-line. The DOE design inputs were to utilize contactors similar in design to those to be used in the SWPF, assume class C waste with less than 0.5 Ci/gal Cs-137, achieve a Decontamination Factor (DF) greater than 12, include the ability to clean the contactors in place, and assume an operating life of three years. WSRC embarked on a design, test, and build program to achieve these criteria as described in the following text. All DOE design criteria have been met or exceeded by WSRC. |
