Automated
Tool for Waste Feed Tanks
(Tech
ID 2088)
 The
Tanks Focus Area is developing a series of "Compact Processing Units"
(CPUs) for pretreatment of high-level tank waste. Examples of CPUs underway
or completed include Out-Of-Tank Evaporation and Cesium Removal CPUs.
The Robotics Crosscutting Program (Rbx) is collaborating with the Tanks
Focus Area, Characterization, Monitoring, and Sensors Program (CMSP) and
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Environmental Management Program
on the development of a sludge waste conditioning CPU for ORNL Gunite
tank sludges. Rbx will provide design assistance to assure that the sludge
conditioning CPU incorporates remote maintenance design features.
