Heavy
Waste Retrieval System
(Tech ID 2194)
 The
Tanks Focus Area and the Robotics Crosscutting Program are developing
a system for removing waste heels remaining in large underground waste
storage tanks like those found at Oak Ridge, Savannah River, and Hanford.
This system could be deployed following bulk sludge retrieval and would
be designed to remove essentially all visible sludge. This system operates
in conjunction with the Modified Light-Duty Utility Arm, Houdini, and
Confined Slucing System at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The heavy waste
retrieval system provides a process tank for adding supernate to the output
of the Confined Slucing End Effector to maintain acceptable minimum waste
flow.
