Title: Transuranic solid waste management research programs. Quarterly report, July--September 1973

Abstract

Progress during the reporting period of July-- September 1973 on three transuranic solid waste management research programs funded by the AEC Division of Waste Management and Transporttion is given. The three programs include transuranic solid waste management research and development, the contaminated waste treatment development facility, and the burial grounds evaluation. The interim storage criteria are now ready to be issued for general review. Experiments in radiolysis and container corrosion have been reorganized and expanded to provide information for optimization of interim storage, while waste sorting experiments have begun to determine more accurately the character of wastes being produced at LASL. Several task forces have been organized for the waste treatment facility to evaluate incinerators and determine a satisfactory operational size for the facility. Work has begun on developing a model for the risk analysis of radioactive burial grounds. A questionnaire has been developed to obtain the necessary information for the analysis. (auth)
