The DWPF could benefit from use of CCIM technology, especially in light of our latest projections of waste volume
to be vitrified. Increased waste loading and increased throughput could result in substantial life cycle cost reduction.
Given the recently demonstrated performance of a 650 mm diameter CCIM using DWPF simulant feed, it may be
necessary to install two 950 mm CCIMs in the DWPF Melt Cell in order to significantly surpass the capability of the
currently installed JHM. A cursory evaluation of system design requirements and modifications to the facility that
may be required to support installation and operation of two 950 mm CCIMs is provided.WSRC-STI-2007-00669, Rev I
