Title: Hybrid Microwave Treatment of SRS TRU and Mixed Wastes

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/14890· OSTI ID:14890

A new process, using hybrid microwave energy, has been developed as part of the Strategic Research and Development program and successfully applied to treatment of a wide variety of non-radioactive materials, representative of SRS transuranic (TRU) and mixed wastes. Over 35 simulated (non-radioactive) TRU and mixed waste materials were processed individually, as well as in mixed batches, using hybrid microwave energy, a new technology now being patented by Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC).
