Goals of the EPICOR and Waste Research and Disposition Program are to (a) safely receive, store, research, and dispose as Class C waste 50 EPICOR-II prefilters used during cleanup of Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) and (b) provide for receipt and interim stroage of TMI-2 abnormal wastes until final disposal is arranged. In support of those goals, EG and G Idaho, Inc. is managing that program for the US Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). This Annual Report summarizes accomplishments made during FY-1984 toward achievement of program goals. Accomplishments include: maintaining facilities/equipment during storage of the EPICOR-II prefilters at INEL; obtaining approval for using high integrity containers (HICs) in the disposal of EPICOR-II prefilters at the commercial disposal facility in the State of Washington; obtaining revision of the Certificate of Compliance for the CNS 14-190 shipping cask to permit transporting prefilters in HICs; demonstrating safe disposal of one EPICOR-II/HIC unit; processing 20 EPICOR-II/HIC units and transporting them from INEL to the disposal facility; progress in resin/liner research; and planning for receipt and interim storage of TMI-2 abnormal wastes.
