Enhanced Hanford Low-Activity Waste Glass Property Data Development: Phase 4

Abstract

This report summarizes and analyzes the data collected on a fourth test matrix of 25 low-activity waste glass compositions intended to expand the composition-property database and to validate the Vienna et al. (2020) property-composition models. The 25 low-activity waste glass compositions were statistically designed to be within the composition region of the 2020 models. The analyses performed on these glasses include chemical composition (for target compositional verification), density, viscosity, electrical conductivity, crystal fraction, canister centerline cooling with crystal identification, product consistency test response, vapor hydration test response, and sulfur solubility. This report discusses the results obtained from these tests.

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.
