Application of microwave energy for in-drum solidification of simulated precipitation sludge

Description: The application of microwave energy for in-container solidification of simulated transuranic contaminated precipitation sludges has been tested. Results indicate volume reductions to 83% are achievable by the continuous feeding of pre-dried sludge into a waste container while applying microwave energy. An economic evaluation was completed showing achievable volume and weight reductions to 87% compared with a current immobilization process for wet sludge. 7 refs., 15 figs., 16 tabs.

Calculated radionuclide migration from a geologic high level waste repository

Description: Transport by groundwater is the most likely means of escape for radioactive waste contained in a geologic repository. The rock formations through which the groundwater flows are characterized by inhomogeneities on all distance scales. Large scale inhomogeneities cause pulses of dissolved pollutants to spread both in the direction of motion and transverse to it. This phenomenon is known as macroscopic dispersion. Similarly, inhomogeneities in the chemical properties of the rock will cause this s… more
