Summary
The management of tanks containing radioactive waste requires the characterization of tank contents and an estimation of how those tank contents will change over time. The Savannah River Site (SRS) is currently in the process of characterizing a tank containing transuranic elements stored since the late 1970s. These isotopes are the by-products of a campaign to produce Pu-242 in the SRS reactors. In order to estimate the isotopic contents of this tank to the year 2100, a simulation, based largely on the methodology found in the CINDER(England, et al. 1970) computer code, was used to solve the equations associated with the natural production and decay processes in the tank. The results of this simulation will be used to determine the most prudent disposal/recovery options available.
