Rockwell International's Rocketdyne Division has developed a remote system for the solidification and packaging of liquid solutions of slurry wastes generated at the Rockwell International Hot Laboratory (RIHL) during decladding operations with the spent fuel from the Fermi reactor. The objective of this US Dept. of Energy (DOE)-funded program on decladding of selected DOE-owned spent fuel was to prepare the spent Fermi fuel for chemical processing at DOE facilities. The fuel was stored at the DOE's Savannah River Plant until July 1986 when shipments to RIHL were begun.
