In the process of tank closure, significant waste characterization and chemical cleaning occur. Costly characterization is performed at numerous processing stages. A need exists for new strategies and technologies to understand, optimize, scale, and speed up tank waste characterization with the end goal of reducing costs through implementation of programmatic changes that accelerate tank waste processing and tank closure schedules. This paper will explore a possible alternative to waste characterization methodologies and cleaning technologies to reduce costs and improve processing efficiency. (authors)
