BACKGROUND ‘The Hanford site (Figure 1) is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE). It les within the semiarid Pasco Basin ofthe Columbia Plateau in southeastern Washington Sate. The Hanford Site encompasses approximately 1 450 km (680 mi) north of the confluence of the Yakima and Columbia Rivers, Estabished in 1943, the Hanford Site was ‘riginaly designed, bull, and operated to Produce plutonium fornuclear weapons. The sare Plutonium was produced by iradation of Uranium fuels in nine nucle reactors, with the plutonium chemically separated from the ‘spent fuel. The major waste generating processes at Hanford have been the ‘chemical separations process facies incuding ‘iemuth PhosphaterLanthanum Fluoride Reduction-Oxidation (REDOX) Plutonium- Uranium Extraction (PUREX) Uranium Recovery (UR) Plutonium Finishing Pian (PF) Uranium Trioxide (UO3) ‘Strontim/Cesium separations and sigue + Hanon St tp‘34* ISNATT, June 6-7, 2016, San Antonio TX TOC-PRES-16-20655 Rev. 0 + Rare Earth metas recovery + Americium Recovery + Various Neptunium, Thorium, LithiamyTritum process operations.

Calculation comparisons are used as @ method for Setermining the sultable code amongst ASME piping codes and AG-1 (SA). The occasional loads consisted of wind and seismic loads as determined by the methods in AISC 7. Itis notable thatthe "Companion Guide to the ASME Boller and Pressure Code" (2012) states that Section Il, Ciass 3 piping rules are most lke those in contained ASME 831.1, Power Piping. However, due tothe pressure ranges and ventilation exaust stream constituents of typical Hanford ventlations eystoms, use ofthe Power Piping Code is rontainaicated. The Power Piping Code is designed to have a higher degree of rekabilty due to the hazards involved in the power piant systems. ‘The ASME 631.3 Process Piping Code is appropriate considering the hazard level and eyctic ‘and occasional loadings, The fluid services categories and temperature and pressure ranges within the ASME 831.3 Process Piping Code are sufficient to cover the design range of the ‘ypical Hanford venation systems. ‘This report aso compares assessed stress alowable, materials, minimum weld examination, and compliance with primary air qualty standard and radionuclide emission regulatory Fequlrements for maintenance of confinement and containment of radionucides present inthe waste tanks for supporting ASME B31.3 use for designing ductwork RESULTS ‘The system depicted in Atachment A is used fo support the use of ASVE B31.3.as AG-1 comptant ductwork.
