LIQUID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING FOR THE PLUTONIUM RECYCLES TEST REACTOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4072422
An evaluation of the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor (PRTR) waste management program is presented. It is noted that the PRTR is an inherently safe reactor designed to contain radioactive materials released in a plausible nuclear incident. Waste disposal limits were established and monitoring facilities provided to prevent the chronic discharge of excessive amounts of radionuclides. The PRTR waste disposal program is designed so that very stringent limits will not be exceeded. (J.R.D.)
