(ORNL Waste Management Research and Development Programs) annual progress report for the period October 1, 1987--September 30, 1988
- comps.
The annual report of the Waste Management Research and Development programs describes work conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in FY 1988. Major programs in this area include work for the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management on high-level radioactive waste (HLW) management, both geotechnical studies related to a geologic repository and systems studies related to the entire system for management of spent fuel and HLW from the reactor to a monitored retrievable storage facility (if included) to delivery at a geologic repository for final emplacement. Transportation work is also described under separate programs for Transportation operations, research and development into the capabilities and requirements for HLW transportation casks, and Packaging and Transportation Compliance. Included in the report are accounts of ORNL work in the area of site surveys in the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project and the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Project. Research and development (R D) work conducted for the National Low-level Waste Management is included as is work sponsored by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Hazardous Waste and Remedial Actions Program. This report also describes waste management R D conducted for other federal agencies, especially the Department of Defense, which has sponsored several demonstrations of advanced technologies for the remediation of sites contaminated by hazardous materials. 79 refs.
