The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) located at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, South Carolina, is currently scheduled to vitrify more than 130 million liters of High Level Waste (HLW). The glass product that will be produced must meet certain specifications, as defined in the Waste Acceptance Product Specifications (WAPS), in order for the DWPF canistered waste forms to be sent to the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System (repository). WAPS 1.3 requires that the DWPF produce a consistent product, which is better than the Environmental Assessment (EA) glass as measured by the B, Na, and Li release from the Product Consistency Test (PCT).
