Advanced Technology for Repackaging TRU-Waste
The Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC), the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), the Office of Science and Technology's Transuranic and Mixed Waste Focus Area (TMFA), and the Savannah River Site's Solid Waste Management Division (SWD) are working to develop a system to repackage drummed, mixed, transuranic (TRU) waste. The system is known as the Handling and Segregation System for 55-gallon drums (HANDSS-55). HANDSS-55 is designed to be a semi-remotely operated, modular, waste conditioning system that would open 55-gallon drums containing mixed TRU-waste, sort and segregate the contents of the drum, and separately repackage the acceptable waste and the non-compliant waste.
