【 摘 要 】

The objective is to develop predictive models of organic degradation in high-level wastes (HLW). We make this information available to facility operators on the Hanford Site to support decision-making processes regarding safety, retrieval, and treatment issues. Emphasis is placed on the aging of organic complexants because they have direct impacts on safety issues such as the organic/nitrate salt and flammable gas problems. They also affect waste treatment efforts to separate radionuclides and reduce the volume of HLW.
