Engineering Task Plan for the Ultrasonic Inspection of Hanford Double-Shell Tanks-FY2000
Abstract
In May 1996 the Tank Waste Remediation System (TWRS) Decision Board recommended, and Department of Energy, Richland Lab (RL) agreed, that the condition of the double-shell tanks (DSTs) should be determined by ultrasonic (UT) mpechon of a limited area in six of the 28 DSTs. The Washington State Department of Ecology (WDOE) has agreed wth the strategy of limited ultrasonic inspection of six DSTs. Data collected during the UT inspections will be used to assess the condition of the tank, judge the effects of past corrosion control practices, and satisfy a regulatory requirement to periodically assess the integrity of waste tanks.
