X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope characterizations of the salt waste processing facility tank 101 and tank 104 solid samples

Abstract

The “as-received” Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) Tank 101 and two Tank 104 samples (pre-wash and washed solids) have been characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive x-ray (SEM/EDX) techniques to address the concerns for the existence of solids, which may interfere with the operational performance of the SWPF crossflow filtration process.

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.
