A Simple, Revolutionary Approach to Waste Packaging

摘要

Current bag-out inefficiencies are wasting valuable space remaining at the U.S. waste repositories, and the process can put operators at risk. Using the CRL WDTS is a major step forward towards reducing the number of drums required to dispose of TRU waste. Although the cost of a WDTS is more than the bag-out materials, the significant reduction in the number of drums processed and shipped to waste repositories will cut costs. Tremendous savings are achieved by eliminating excess disposal fees on over-radiated drums by reattaching the drum and adjusting threshold levels. Increased speed and operational safety of waste packaging can also provide major savings over time. By utilizing this simple, yet revolutionary approach, facilities will be able to utilize the remaining space more economically, while maximizing operator productivity and safety.
