Characterizing Containerized Mixed Low-Level Waste for Treatment: A WorkshopProceedings. Held in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 25-27, 1993

摘要

The report is the product of a technical workshop held in May 1993 in Las Vegas,Nevada addressing Mixed Low-Level Waste (MLLW). Its purpose was to define the characterization needs that would be required to operate a mixed low-level waste treatment facility. Mixed low-level waste is generated by defense-related activities, research programs, facility decontamination and decommissioning activities. Uranium, plutonium, fission products, and other radionuclides may be present. To address handling of its MLLW stockpile the DOE initiated the Mixed Waste Treatment Project (MWTP). The purpose is to identify promising technologies and strategies for MLLW characterization and treatment that can be applied to containerized waste.
