Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6567412

Long-term waste management studies reported on are: dissolution of glass waste forms; recovery of plutonium from glass waste forms; solubility of sulfates in glass waste forms; glass waste forms containing Savannah River Plant (SRP) sludge; evaluation of cesium sorbents for incorporation into concrete of waste forms; removal of sludge in simulated SRP wastes by centrifuge; centrifugation of sludge from actual SRP wastes and filtration of centrate through sand; compatibility of container materials with waste forms; and gas chromatography of inorganic and organic gases. Interim waste management studies reported on are: TRU nuclides in solvent residues at the burial ground; cation exchange capacity of burial ground soil; new drawoff valve for concentrated waste; hydraulic conductivity of shallow sediments in separations area; ground water transport of radioactive waste; the GNDWATER Computer program; and pollutant transport in SRP streams and the Savannah River.
