Conference ·
OSTI ID:5153328

The proceedings of the seventh ASME/EPRI jointly sponsored radwaste workshop are presented. The workshop presentations and discussion sessions addressed the following pertinent issues: Meeting Radwaste Regulatory Requirements; Mobile Services; and Radwaste Equipment and Reducing Costs. Interest in meeting regulatory requirements centered on the various aspects of 10CFR61. Proper sampling, compliance methodology, hydrogen generation in stored radwaste and process control programs were the major topics of discussion. Use of mobile services provided by outside organizations is increasing. An extensive summary of available mobile services was presented in the areas of radwaste processing, solidification and decontamination, as well as information on special on-site storage containers. Under the areas of radwaste equipment and reducing costs, the principal items were the status of a mobile incinerator for Commonwealth Edison, establishment of a deminimis level for waste at Ginna, resin volume reduction at Brunswick and a dry active waste segregation program at TVA. Presentations were also made on radwaste transportation and burial and on two planned regional radwaste incineration facilities. The meeting concluded with an open discussion period for all participants on a variety of radwaste items.
