Performance assessment activities of the Uranium Soils Integrated Demonstration

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6644645

One of the major problems facing the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Environmental Restoration Program is the remediation of uranium-contaminated soils. In response to this problem, the Office of Technology Development (OTD) has initiated an Integrated Demonstration program to evaluate and compare the versatility, efficiency, and economics of various technologies that may be combined into systems for the characterization and remediation of uranium contaminated soils. The Fernald Environmental Management Project (FEMP) was selected as the host site for the Uranium Soils Integrated Demonstration (ID) program based on its past operating history and known environmental problems. The goals of the ID are to demonstrate advanced technologies for field characterization and precision excavation of soils, to demonstrate advanced technologies to decontaminate uranium contaminated soils, and to specify a system of technologies which work effectively together to characterize, excavate, decontaminate, and dispose of wastes remaining after the treatment of uranium contaminated soils (Nuhfer, 1991). Ultimately, the technologies which prove effective will be transferred to other DOE restoration programs and the private sector.
