Blanco, R E; Parker, F L

Progress made in the development of integrated procresses for the treatment and disposal of radioactive wastes resulting from reactor operations and reactor fuel processing is reported. Information is given on high-level waste pot calcination; fixation of high-level waste in phosphate glass; treatment of low-level waste by scavenging, ion exchange, and foam separation; waste disposal in deep wells and natural salt formations; mineral exchange studies; and Clinch River and White Oak Creek Basin studies.
