High Activity Waste Tank (HAWT) Disposition
CX(s) Applied: B3.1

Location(s): South Carolina

Savannah River National Laboratory (SRS) has supported the processing of samples and materials for analysis support to the site's facilities. During those processes, sample materials were developed and collected. Some were deposited in the High Activity Drain system and later pumped to a High Activity Waste Trailer (HAWT), which was used to ship materials to the SRS tank farms for processing. This HAWT was removed from service in 1974. Since 1975 it has been in a standby mode. This tank/trailer is being considered for disposition. To support proper dispositioning, the tarps covering the HAWT must be removed to allow samples to be taken from the HAWT for analysis and characterization. These results will determine the path forward for dispositioning of the HAWT (including stand-by mode).
