摘要

The traveler presented a paper at the Twelfth International Symposium on the Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management, Berlin, West Germany, October 9--13, 1988. After the Berlin meeting, the traveler visited nuclear facilities in West Germany, France and the United Kingdom to discuss the use of cement-based waste forms in immobilizing non-high-level waste. The Germans are interested in a cooperative effort in low-level waste (LLW) management. The French are interested in a continued cooperative effort with ORNL. The BNFL engineering staff discussed a cementation plant scheduled to be operational in 1991. The traveler toured the BNFL facility at Sellafield and the cementation plant at the UKAEA facility in Dounreay, UK. 1 fig.
