Long-term technology program for defense high-level waste: strategy document. Rev. 5/84

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6799891
The Department of Energy (DOE) has the responsibility for isolating US nuclear wastes from the human environment, and is conducting a series of comprehensive programs for the long-term management of these radioactive wastes. In these programs, the Office of Defense Waste and Byproducts Management (DWBM) has responsibility for management of the radioactive wastes generated by DOE defense activities, in particular those generated in nuclear material production and naval reactor fuels reprocessing. This document describes the DWBM strategy for development of technology for long term management of high-level waste (HLW) at the individual DOE defense sites at the Savannah River Plant near Aiken, SC, the Hanford Plant near Richland, WA, and the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant near Idaho Falls, ID. The immediate program focus is on implementing the waste immobilization strategy already selected in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) at Savannah River, while continuing development towards final strategies and technologies at Hanford and Idaho to meet their respective implementation schedules. 28 references, 1 figure, 4 tables.
