This document provides a record of the organic end state analysis of tank 241-S-103. Tank 241-5-103 is one of twelve 22.9-meter (75-feet) diameter single-shell tanks in the 2414 Tank Farm in the 200 West Area of Hanford. This tank was built in 1951 and has a capacity of 2870 kiloliter (kL) (758 kilogallon [kgal]). According to Hanlon (1999), tank 241-S-103 currently contains 939 kL (248 kgal) of waste comprised of 840 kL (222 kgal) saltcake, 34 kL (9 kgal) sludge, and 64 kL (17 kgal) supernatant. Included in those volumes is 462 kL (122 kgal) drainable interstitial liquid. The pumpable volume is estimated at 416 kL (1 10 kgal). The waste is designated as double-shell slurry feed (DSSF). Tank 241-S-103 is not a Watch List tank. Tank 241-S-103 has not been declared as a leaker
