Waste solidification USA. [Near- and longer-term technology for high-level liquid waste]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7143776
; ;
This paper is a summary of technology for the solidification of high-level liquid waste (HLLW), as presented in Section 6 of ''alternatives for Managing Wastes from Reactors and Post-Fission Operations in the LWR Fuel Cycle,'' (ERDA-76-43). Characteristics of U.S. HLLW are described. Near-term technology for solidification is discussed: fluidized-bed calcination, vitrification, spray calcination, melting, encasement. Longer-term technology, including metal matrix process, supercalcine, and multiple barrier forms, is considered. (DLC)
