Abstract | The purpose of this study is to evaluate the frequency and severity of various failure mechanisms for a variety of hazardous waste storage and treatment tank systems. The reusage of hazardous waste from treatment and storage tanks is contingent on the occurrence of one or more failure events, many of which have a degree of uncertainty associated with them. Consequently, this analysis used a model to account for such uncertainties. The HWTF model is based on the principles of probability and statistics and can simulate particular aspects of phenomena that relate to the release of hazardous waste from tanks. This type of model, generally referred to as a Monte Carlo simulation model, allows the evaluation of the potential range of releases from tanks. |
