Low-level liquid waste disposal site remediation technology development at the Hanford site
Westinghouse Hanford Company is developing technologies supporting long-term physical stabilization and isolation of liquid waste materials in underground waste disposal crib and caisson structures. Prototype equipment and methodologies are being developed to dynamically consolidate and/or inject durable materials into and proximal to these structures. To date, testing, development, and demonstration of a mobile in situ waste treatment system for site remediation of liquid waste disposal sites has been completed. Continued testing and development activities are in progress for in situ treatment of contaminated, industrial, solid low-level waste materials. Conceptual design activities have also been initiated to develop an injection system for application to low-level waste underground tank and vault remediation. 10 refs., 2 figs.
