【 摘 要 】

A basis of thirteen glass former chemicals (GFCs) was selected upon reviewing existing River Protection Program - Waste Treatment Plant (RPP-WTP) subcontractor documents and after discussions with RPP-WTP R and T, Vitreous State Laboratory (VSL) and Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) personnel. The thirteen baseline GFCs were approved by RPP-WTP R and T for future use in all RPP-WTP R and T test programs. SRTC established a contract with Jenike and Johanson Incorporated (J and J), a material handling consultant, to perform the following work scope: (1) Measure and report the physical and flow properties of the thirteen individual GFCs, three representative Low Activity Waste (LAW) GFC blends, and two representative High Level Waste (HLW) GFC blends under ''as received'' and ''at rest'' conditions. The data obtained from these tests will be used for ''information only.'' (2) Review the conceptual design of the RPP-WTP bulk solids handling system. (3) Provide functional design parameters needed to achieve mass flow or expanded flow in all 13 storage silos. (4) Provide recommendations on the delivery of blended GFCs to the Melter Feed Preparation Vessels (MFPV). (5) Provide general recommendations on bulk solids handling issues. Jenike and Johanson completed this work and issued two technical reports providing their results and recommendations. Their findings and conclusions are summarized and presented in this report.
