- Description
- Prequalification Questionnaire VPU REMEDIATION METHODS TESTING Washington Closure Hanford manages the River Corridor Closure Contract at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Southeastern Washington State. The project team is responsible for safely cleaning up and taking down hundreds of excess facilities, cleaning up waste sites, burial grounds and placing deactivated plutonium production reactors in interim safe storage. One of the methods used for waste disposal at the 618-10 Burial Ground and the 618-11 Burial Ground was the Vertical Pipe Unit (VPU). The first generation (a.k.a., pipe-style) of VPUs was simply pipes, 10- to 12-in diameter and 10- to 15-ft long, buried vertically; the pipes may be corrugated steel culvert or schedule-40 steel pipe. The second generation (a.k.a. drum-style) of VPUs was 22-in diameter, 15-ft long waste receptacles constructed by welding five 55-gallon bottomless drums together end-to-end and burying them vertically, separated by approximately 10 feet on center. The 618-10 and -11 Burial Grounds received low- to high-activity waste (e.g., fission products and some plutonium-contaminated waste). VPU remediation methods testing needs to be accomplished in order to optimize the project's approach to VPU remediation. Elements for testing include: • Augering of pipe-style VPUs for stabilization and size-reduction; both corrugated steel culvert and schedule-40 steel pipe • Injection of water and augmented water via auger to adjust in situ moisture content for dust control • Vertical mixing achieved during augering • Characterization for radiological determination
