Title: Calculation of DWPF Canister Decay Heat for Sludge Macro-Batches 1B to 9

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6756· OSTI ID:6756

The rates of heat generation of DWPF glass canisters due to radioactive decay have been estimated for the remaining nine macro-batches of sludge feed. The estimated decay heat ranged from 177.5 Watts for each Macro-batch 1B canister to 498.4 Watts for each Macro-batch 8 canister. These projections are based on the HLW radionuclide inventory data available as of 4/1/98, and do not reflect further decay since then. It was assumed that each DWPF glass canister would also contain a nominal quantity of salt waste based on the reference coupled feed flowsheet. Issue of this report successfully closes a recent technical assistance request (HLW/DWPF-TAR-990003).
