Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4306994
Papers were presented at the meeting on the following subjects: waste characteristics governing fixation in soils; chemical processing of the alumina fluid calciner product to alumina silicates; fixation of fission preducts in stable compounds; resume of ceramic section in Oak Ridge National Laboratory; fixation of fission preducts in ceramic glazes; fission preduct disposal in glass; leaching studies on fired clays containing radionuclldes; evaluation of experimental clinkers; fixation of active wastes in solid form using natural solls as media for glass formation; separation of cesium and strontium from calcined metal oxides as a process in disposal of high level wastes; fixation of radioisotopes on Hanford type soils; tests of stability; calcination of aqueous reactor fuel wastes in a fluidized bed; experiments on fluidized bed calcination of Idaho Chemical Processing Plant wastes using radioactive feed material; hall kW calcination of alloy fuel element wastes; incorporation of fission products into glass; ultimate disposal of long-lived fission preducts; high-temperature gas cleanlng problems; heat evolution and dissipation; problems associated with waste caicination schemes; sintering of reactor wastes; problems associated with the formation of ceramic clinkers; and storage of reactor fuel wastes in salt formations.
