Waste Forms Technology and Performance : Final Report Paperback / softback
by Committee on Waste Forms Technology and Performance, Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Research Council
Paperback / softback
Description
The Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) is responsible for cleaning up radioactive waste and environmental contamination resulting from five decades of nuclear weapons production and testing.
A major focus of this program involves the retrieval, processing, and immobilization of waste into stable, solid waste forms for disposal.
Waste Forms Technology and Performance, a report requested by DOE-EM, examines requirements for waste form technology and performance in the cleanup program.
The report provides information to DOE-EM to support improvements in methods for processing waste and selecting and fabricating waste forms.
Waste Forms Technology and Performance places particular emphasis on processing technologies for high-level radioactive waste, DOE's most expensive and arguably most difficult cleanup challenge.
The report's key messages are presented in ten findings and one recommendation.
