Beneficial Uses Program. Progress report for period ending September 30, 1978
The waste resources utilization program included the following studies: construction of Sandia irradiator for dried sewage solids; preliminary safety analysis report for the Sandia irradiator; generic demonstration sewage sludge irradiator design; effects of moisture on parameters for inactivating bacteria using ionizing radiation or heat; inactivation of Aspergillus by heat and radiation; heat inactivation of viruses as influenced by pH and detergents; and refeeding and agronomic studies at New Mexico State University. The separation technology and source development program included studies on fabrication of cesium aluminosilicates using montmorillonite clay and preparation of sodium zirconate materials from zirconium alkoxide precursors.
