The small cylindrical melter (SCM) was designed to provide engineering data useful for operation and design of full-scale glass melters for vitrification of high level radioactive waste. This melter was part of the research and development program for the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) at the Savannah River Plant (SRP). Extensive corrosion testing of melter materials of construction (Monofrax™ K3, Inconel® 690), simulated radioactive waste glass characterization, and melter component development were conducted in support of the DWPF full-scale melter design.
