Environmental Management Technology-Development Program at the Department ofEnergy, 1995 Review

摘要

This book provides the National Academy of Sciences' 1995 review of thetechnology development program for the remediation of the Department of Energy's weapons complex facilities. It makes scientific, technical, and programmatic recommendations to strengthen technology development within DOE and ensure that it meet its goals of cost effectiveness, safety, and decreased risk. The recommendations address DOE's five focus areas: landfill stabilization; contaminant plume containment and remediation; facility transitioning, decommissioning, and final disposal; mixed waste characterization treatment; and high-level waste in tanks. The book also addresses technologies in areas that cross cut the focus area programs, namely characterization monitoring and sensor technologies, efficient separations and processing, robotics, and waste disposal.
