Process and mechanical development for the Savannah River TRU Waste Facility
Conference
·
OSTI ID:7074214
A Transuranic Waste Facility will be designed and built to retrieve, process, and prepare noncombustible /sup 238/Pu and /sup 239/Pu waste that is now being retrievably stored for disposal. Development work is planned or is now in progress to support this effort, including cold run-in and testing of a large, low-speed shredder and material handling system, a bagless transfer system, a robotically controlled manipulator (''Telerobot''), and an incineration process. Preliminary tests of the shredder system, Telerobot, and bagless transfer system have been completed and an integrated test facility is being built that will allow extensive testing of these components. Cold run-in of a continuous incineration process designed to burn /sup 238/Pu contaminated waste is now in progress.
