Commercial Cyclone Incinerator Demonstration Program: October 1978--March 1979
The commercial cyclone incinerator program was designed to study the effects of burning low-level waste contaminated with beta and gamma emitters in a cyclone system. The ultimate program goal is the demonstration of a cyclone incinerator at a nuclear power plant. During the past six months, the first three tasks in the project milestone schedule were completed; the project schedule itself covers the period from January 1979 through June 1981. The plan to demonstrate the feasibility of incinerating beta- and gamma-contaminated waste was developed utilizing an extensive literature search, making design modifications to the laboratory cyclone incinerator, and designing an experimental plan. A summary of the feasibility plan was then written and reviewed. It is currently being revised for submission to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Following informal NRC review of the feasibility plan, laboratory-scale experiments will begin.
