The Du Pont Company is building a facility at the Savannah River Plant to immobilize high level radioactive waste within a borosilicate glass matrix. The process, known as the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF), is scheduled to begin operation in 1989. The design and operation of the DWPF Glass Melter will be demonstrated during testing of a 2/3 linear scale melter. This paper reviews the startup phase of the Scale Glass Melter, completed in February 1986, which is representative of the planned DWPF melter startup. 3 refs., 3 figs.
