Transuranic waste research and development program quarterly report, March-- June 1973 and transuranic contaminated solid waste treatment program annual report, FY 1973
Progress during the period of March--June 1973 for the Transuranic Solid Waste Research and Development Program and for FY 1973 for the Transuranic Contaminated Solid Waste Treatment Program is reported. All of the solid waste management activities at LASL have been consolidated into one group, and research and development activities will now be reported in a single quarterly report. During this period, the Criteria for the Interim Storage of AEC-Generated Transuranic Wastes have progressed to a rough draft stage with initial review by DWMT. The experimental programs on corrosion, radiolysis, combustion, and leaching, designed to provide data for the criteria and for optimization of the storage procedures, have continued. The Conceptual Design Report for the Waste Volume Reduction Development Facility neared completion at the end of the year. Preliminary studies were made in evaluating the progress of the candidate processes to be used in this facility. These processes include incineration, molten salt combustion, pyrolysis, pressurized oxygen combustion, and acid digestion, all of which are under study by various laboratories of the AEC or commercial operations.
