A flowsheet, which is a method for converting wastes into granular, free flowing solids, was developed for calcining sodium-bearing waste stored at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP). The flowsheet consists of blending sodium-bearing waste with zirconium-fluoride waste so that the calcine product contains as much as 5% sodium; calcium nitrate is added to the blend to give a calcium-to-fluoride mole ratio of 0.7. 7 figures, 26 tables.
