The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is currently under construction at Savannah River Plant (SRP) near Aiken, South Carolina. The facility will take high level waste accumulated from thirty years of special nuclear materials processing and reduce it to a vitrified inert form suitable for disposal in a geologic repository. This paper covers the shop completion of the melter vessel assembly. 5 figs.
