Development of a fluidized-bed calciner and past-treatment processes for solidification of commercial fuel-reprocessing liquid wastes
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5324962
The results of development efforts to adapt fluidized-bed-calcination technology, demonstrated by plant operation since 1963 with radioactive wastes at the ICPP Waste Calcining Facility, to the solidification of radioactive liquid wastes from the reprocessing of commercial nuclear-reactor fuels are presented. Pilot-plant calcining tests with simulated wastes verify the feasibility of fluidized-bed calcination of a variety of projected waste compositions. The status of development of metal-matrices and sintered glass-ceramics as alternative waste forms to glass is given. Development needs are presented for fluidized-bed calcination and for alternative waste forms.
