[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3MTA5NDY5X0Q1MzQ2RDEz] [quote:Southern OR:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3MTA3OTQ1XzZCM0E3REE=] [quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3MDk1MDU0X0IzQkU0REQ=] Unexpected gas releases from Hanford tank http://www.nwcn.com/news/washington/201549701.html [snip] Confidential sources say it began on March 16 and lasted for several days, much longer than usual, and they worry a single spark could have set off an explosive release of radioactivity. This comes two days after a report by a government panel expressing concerns about the release of flammable gasses at Hanford and the government's inability to respond to them. Workers who toil above the buried Hanford tank farms constantly monitor the tanks for gas build-ups and will conduct controlled releases to reduce pressure. We're told this was a spontaenous release, not controlled. [/quote] Maybe the expansion of the gasses is part of what makes the tanks leak? I know the material inside is corrosive, but they don't seem to last near as long as the design life. Seems like a good theory to me. [/quote] Can't be helping. Seems as though the gas occasionally builds up faster than they can relieve the pressure. This would make the most sense to me, if they monitor them 24/7. I'm going to guess and say the original calculations didn't take this into account. The size of the pressure relief system may have been adequate at one time, now.. not so much. So far, they aren't letting us know much about the process. [/quote]
