Development and Operation of the Conversion/Solidification Process for the CEUSP (Consolidated Edison Uranium Solidification Program) Project

摘要

A project called the Consolidated Edison Uranium Solidification Program (CEUSP) was initiated to solidify radioactive uranium from Indian Point-1 Reactor for storage. Process steps included evaporation, denitration by formaldehyde, thermal denitration, and encapsulation. Following solidification of the Indian Point-1 uranium, and another batch of uranium, the CEUSP Facility and the Thorium Reactor Uranium Storage Tank were cleaned out. (ERA citation 12:038613)
