Construction began on the Sodium Storage Facility (SSF) in June 1995 with the anticipated date for waste management
operations to begin in April 1997. The anticipated date depends on the decision to restart the Fast FLUX Test Facility
(FFTF) and the potential use of the soditae coolant in support of the Tank Waste Remedistiorl Project. The SSF is located
adjacent to the FFTF in the 400 Area. The Unit will consist of three 302,a32-titer (80 000-gallon) tanks and one
196,841-liter (52,000-gal Lon) tank contained within a concrete structureapproximately E7 meters (91 feet) long by 27.4
meters (90 feet) wide by 9.1 meters (30 feet) high. The SSF will receive liquid sodium containing trace amounts of potassium
through batch transfers from the FFTF by Way of transfer lines connecting the two facilities. The SSF also could receive and
store sodium from other Hanford Facility operations of a ease-by-case basis. The sodium will be stored in the SSF Until
transferred to the sodluas Reaction Facility (SRF) for treatment. The total process desigri capacity for the four SSF storage
tanks WILL be 1,105,337 liters (292,000 gallons).
T01
Construction on the SRF depends on the decision to restart the FFTF and the potential use of the sodium coolant in support of
the Tank Waste Remediation Project. If constructed, the SRF WILL be tociated near the SSF and will consist of a 757-liter
(200-gallon) reaction vessel and ancillary equipment contained in a concrete and steel structure approximately 19,8 meters
(65 feet) long by 17.4 meters (57 feet) wide by 10.7 meters (35 feet) high. The sodium reaction process Will consist of
injecting awtten sodium metal containing trace amounts of potassium and water into the reaction vessel that Will be partially
filled with 30 to 50 percent sodium hyydroxide at approximately 116'C (240'F). Reaction products include sodium hydroxide and
hydrogen gas. The hydro gen gas Will be removed from the reaction vessel by an inert gas cover purge and maintained at
sufficiently low levels so as not to be flammable then mixed with air. The sodium hydroxide solution-wil,14oe reacted With
sulfuric acid to produce sodium sulfate, Which Witt be dried and placed into 208-11ter (55-gallon) containers for transfer to
an onsite disposal area. The SRF also could receive and treat sodium from other Hanford Facility operations on a case-byease
basis. The total treatment design capacity for the SRF Will be 2,700 liters (715 gallons) per day.
N. DESCRIPTION OF DANGEROUS WASTES
A. DANGEROUS WASTE NUMBER -Enter the fourdigIt number from Chapter 173-303 WAC for each Nnsd dangerous Mgt you WIN handle. H you handle
dangerous wastes which am not listed in Chapter 173.303 WAC, enter the four digit numberts) that describes the characteristics and/or the toxic con.
tamxtante of those dangerous wastes.
B. ESTIMATED ANNUAL QUANTITY - For each gated waste ente red In column A estimate the quantity of that warts that will be handled on an annual basis.
For each characteristic or toxic cordaminent entered In column A estimate the total annual quantity of as the non- gated waste(e) that WIN be handled which
possess that characteristic or contaminant.
C. UNIT OF MEASURE - For each quantity emend In column B enter the unit of moseura code. Units of measure which must be used and the appropriate codes
an:
4 ENGLISH UNn' OF MEASURE CODE METRIC UNIT OF MEASURE CODE
POUNDS ................. P KILOGRAMS................... K

11 fecikj records use any other unit of measure for quantity, the units of measure must be convened into one of the required inks of measure taking Into account the
appmpdate density or specific gravity of the waste.
D.PROCESSES
1, PROCESS CODES:
For listed dangerous waste: For each listed dangerous waste entered M column A assert the coda(e) f rom the list of proessi codes contained In Section III to
Indicate hew the waste will be stored, treated, and/or disposed of at the facility,
For non-gated dangerous waster, For each characteristic or toxic contaminant entered In Column A. select the code(.) from the list of precast codes contained In
Section VI to Indicate all the procostes that will be used to atom, treat. and/or dispose of all the nom0 god dangerous wastes that possess that characteristic or
toxic conteminant.
Note: Few spa". era yrovided for entering pro"se codes. If more are asadad: (1) Enter the first three as described above; (2) Enter 'ODO' in the extreme right
box of Item IV•D(1); and (3) Enter in the spa" provided on page 4, the He. number and the additional code(.).
2. PROCESS DESCRIPTION: It a coda Is not Voted for a process that will be used, describe the process in the spa" provided an the forth.
NOTE: DANGEROUS WASTES DESCRIBED BY MORE THAN ONE DANGEROUS WASTE NUMBER • Dangerous wastes that can be described by mom than one Waste
Number shall be descdbed on the fern as follows:
1. Select one of the Dangerous Wage Numbers and enter It In column A. On the ue m line compute columns B, C, and D by estimating the total annual quantity of
the waste and describing all the procosus to be used to treat, store, and/or dispose of the warts.
2. In column A of the next line enterthe other Dangerous Waste Number that use be used to describe the waste. In column D(2) on that ire enter *Included with
above*and make no other entries on that Una.
3, Repeat step 2 for each other Dangerous Waste Number that can be used to describe the dangerous waste.
EXAMPLE FOR COMPLETING SECTION IV Ishown to fine number X-1, X-2, X-3, and X-d be/owl - A facility will treat and dispose of an estimated 900 pounds per year
of chrome ehavinoos from Nether tanning and finishing operation. In addition, tin facility wen treat and dispose of three nen-Itn.d wastes. Two wanes are comeshrs
only and them W be an estimated 200 pounds per year of each waste. The other waste is corrosive and Ignitable and there will be an estimated 100 pounds per you
Of that wane. Treatment will be In an Incinerator and disposal wW be In a landfill.
