DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF A CEMENT WASTE FORM FOR TRU EFFLUENT FROM THE SAVANNAH RIVER SITE MIXED OXIDE FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY

摘要

The Savannah River Site Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility will generate an effluent stream that consists of small quantities of americium in a nitric acid solution. The Waste Solidification Building is designed to solidify this and other effluent streams from the process. A cementitious waste form was developed that will solidify neutralized TRU effluent and produce a waste form that will meet the criteria for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
