The F-Area Tank Farm facilities are part of the High Level Waste Management Division, whose mission is to safely receive and store liquid radioactive waste, prepare the waste for processing, and to feed the prepared waste to DWPF and Saltstone for processing
into stable, inert solids, so that radioactive materials will be effectively isolated from the environment. In addition, these facilities treat the waste water effluent which is released. The facilities are operational, with the exception of the replacement high-level
waste evaporator, which is under construction. The F Area tank farm consists of an evaporator (241-2F), 22 waste tanks, and transfer systems that are used for storage of high level nuclear waste.
