This Removal Action Plan documents the plan for implementation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compenstion, and Liability Act non-time-critical removal action to be performed by the Accelerated Retrieval Project. The focus of the action is the limited excavation and retrieval of selected waste streams ...

This paper presents an overview of the Accelerated Retrieval Project performed by the Idaho Completion Project at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Topics include an overall description of the process and methods that will retrieve, characterize, and certify newly generated transuranic (TRU) waste for disposal at the Waste Isolation ...
This paper describes the time-critical expedited response action taken at a potentially uranium-contaminated solvent waste disposal trench on the Hanford Site, in southeastern Washington state. An expedited response was initiated to remove solvents, still...

with several deliverables relating to the removal and disposition of salt waste. As part of its accelerated techniques to be tailored to actual radiological characteristics. Initial estimates of levels of cesium obtained from sampling performed to date indicate that the cesium and actinide contamination levels
. The growing demands from China and India will accelerate the supply-demand tug-of-war. But, even at today of environmental biotechnology is that it eliminates the waste, potentially turning it into a resource. This is possible because naturally occurring microorganisms gain energy by oxidizing (removing electrons
Hazardous wastes contaminated with radionuclides, chemicals, and explosives exist across the Department of Energy complex and need to be remediated due to environmental concerns. Currently, an opportunity is being developed to dramatically reduce remediation costs and to assist in the acceleration of schedules associated with these ...
In May of 2002, the River Protection Project at Hanford proposed as part of the accelerated cleanup for the entire Hanford Site to ''accelerate waste stabilization by developing and deploying alternative treatment and immobilization solutions that are aligned with the waste characteristics to add ...

Hanford low-activity waste solutions contain sulfate, which can cause accelerated corrosion of the vitrification melter and unacceptable operating conditions. A method is needed to selectively separate sulfate from the waste. An experiment was conducted to evaluate evaporation for removing sulfate ion from Tank ...
Initiatives are underway at the Savannah River Site (SRS) to accelerate the disposition of the supernate and salt portions of the waste in the SRS High Level Waste (HLW) tank farm system. Significant savings in processing time and overall cost could be ac...

Retrieval of High Level Waste (HLW) from Savannah River Site (SRS) tanks is performed to support closure of the tanks as required by the Federal Facilities Agreement and to support vitrification of HLW as required by the Site Treatment Plan. SRS retrieves the waste in two phases: bulk waste removal and heel ...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for environmental remediation at the Hanford Site in Washington State, a former nuclear weapons production site. Retrieving, processing, immobilizing, and disposing of the 2.2 � 105 m3 of radioactive wastes stored in the Hanford underground storage tanks dominates the overall environmental remediation effort at Hanford. The ...
CCL cavities are figures of revolution about the beam axis. An automated tuning program sets up the geometry for a symmetric accelerating cavity and runs SUPERFISH repetitively, varying the geometry to tune each cavity to the desired frequency for the electromagnetic fields. SUPERFISH solves Maxwell's equations in 2-D. A large portion of the RF power (60-80%) applied ...
A principal role of the DOE Savannah River Site is to safely dispose of a large volume of liquid nuclear waste held in many storage tanks. An in-tank ion exchange unit is being considered for cesium removal to accelerate waste processing. This unit is pla...
