1、Designation:C175017Standard Guide forDevelopment,Verification,Validation,and Documentation ofSimulated High-Level Tank Waste1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1750;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,th
2、e year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 Intent:1.1.1 The intent of this guideline is to provide generalconsiderations for the development,verification,va
3、lidation,and documentation of high-level waste(HLW)tank simulants.Due to the expense and hazards associated with obtaining andworking with actual wastes,especially radioactive wastes,simulants are used in a wide variety of applications includingprocess and equipment development and testing,equipment
4、acceptance testing,and plant commissioning.This standardguide facilitates a consistent methodology for development,preparation,verification,validation,and documentation ofwaste simulants.1.2 This guideline provides direction on(1)defining simu-lant use,(2)defining simulant-design requirements,(3)dev
5、el-oping a simulant preparation procedure,(4)verifying andvalidating that the simulant meets design requirements,and(5)documenting simulant-development activities and simulantpreparation procedures.1.3 Applicability:1.3.1 This guide is intended for persons and organizationstasked with developing HLW
6、 simulants to mimic certaincharacteristics and properties of actual wastes.The process forsimulant development,verification,validation,and documen-tation is shown schematically in Fig.1.Specific approvalrequirements for the simulants developed under this guidelineare not provided.This topic is left
7、to the performing organi-zation.1.3.2 While this guide is directed at HLW simulants,muchof the guidance may also be applicable to other aqueous basedsolutions and slurries.1.3.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.
8、4 User Caveats:1.4.1 This guideline is not a substitute for sound chemistryand chemical engineering skills,proven practices and experi-ence.It is not intended to be prescriptive but rather to provideconsiderations for the development and use of waste simulants.1.4.2 This standard does not purport to
9、 address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was devel
