ICPP development programs for fluidized-bed calciner heat input

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6824683· OSTI ID:6824683
The fluidized-bed calcination of ICPP radioactive wastes has been under development since 1955. The development program consisted of operation of pilot-plant fluidized-bed calciners which provided engineering data for a demonstration, plant-size facility for solidifying radioactive waste. The demonstration facility has been in operation since 1963 with first a recirculating sodium-potassium eutectic (NaK) method of heating and since 1970 an in-bed combustion method of heating. A New Waste Calcining Facility (NWCF) has been designed and is under construction. The facility also uses in-bed combustion for process heat. The development program for fluidized-bed calciner heat input is described.
