AX Farm and A Farm Third Retrieval Technology Chemical Dissolution Options Evaluation

Abstract

In response to DOE-ORP direction to prepare a Practicability Evaluation for Waste Tank AX-102, and to address the Washington State Department of Ecology recommendation to evaluate the use of acid reagents for chemical dissolution, an Integrated Project Team (IPT) consisting of retrieval, process chemistry, corrosion, closure and laboratory subject matter experts was assembled to evaluate chemical dissolution options. This document provides a summary of these efforts and is intended to aid in the evaluation and third retrieval technology decision process not only for AX-102, but for all the AX and A Farm tanks, since the tanks contain similar waste and are flat-bottomed with uneven bottom plates.

West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) for Calendar Year 2025

The report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy West Valley Demonstration Project office (DOE-WVDP), summarizes the environmental protection program at the WVDP for calendar year (CY) 2025. Monitoring and surveillance of the facilities used by the DOE are conducted to verify protection of public health and safety and the environment. The report is a key component of the DOE’s effort to keep the public informed of environmental conditions at the WVDP. The quality assurance protocols applied to the environmental monitoring program ensure the validity and accuracy of the monitoring data. In addition to demonstrating compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and directives, the evaluation of data collected in 2025 continued to indicate that WVDP activities posed no threat to public health or safety, or to the environment.
