Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a technology that has been around for 60+ years. By using high temperature and high gas pressure, dry metal and ceramic powders can be consolidated and a volume decrease can be achieved. This paper presents the efforts using the HIPing process at the Idaho National Laboratory to treat the calcine radioactive waste. Once loaded into collapsible canisters, the HIPing would be used to treat the waste before final disposal. The resulting volume reduction was shown to be 20-70% and the cost ratio vs vitrification is 1:1.74. (authors)
