1986 EPRI radwaste workshop: Proceedings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6979474

The proceedings of the eighth radwaste workshop are presented. The workshop presentations and discussion sessions addressed: Waste Minimization and On-Site Storage, Regulatory Issues, and Radwaste Equipment Operating Experience. Significant accomplishments in waste volume reduction and resultant cost savings were demonstrated by the actual results achieved with the implementation of dedicated management supported volume reduction programs at Brunswick and Crystal River Unit /number sign/3. On-site storage implementation is being accomplished at the Duane Arnold Energy Center of Iowa Electric by construction of a low level radwaste processing and storage facility. The design of this facility was described. The regulatory lectures covered disposal site issues and an update on waste transportation regulations. Current regulatory issues were addressed by a representative of the NRC. The lectures on radwaste equipment operating experience discussed radwaste evaporator experience at Callaway, steam generator chemical cleaning waste processing at Millstone Unit /number sign/2 and comparison testing of General Electric and Westinghouse-Hittman super compactors at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. Individual papers were processed separately for the data base.
