We will perform a monosodium titanate (MST) strike on a tank sample (Tank 21H). Samples will be removed for analysis. The MST will then be filtered off and the filtrate used in an Extraction-Scrub-Strip (ESS) test. This involves contacting the tank samples with an organic solvent designed to selectively remove the cesium. Samples will be removed for analysis. Residual material will be sent to the High Activity Drain (HAD) (tank samples) or sent out through Solid Waste (organic) after being sorbed on drying agent.
