Current and projected liquid low-level waste generation at ORNL

Description: Liquid low level waste (LLLW) is generated by various programs and projects throughout Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This waste is collected via bottles, trucks, or underground collection tanks. It is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide, reduced in volume at the ORNL LLLW evaporator, and stored as concentrated LLLW in one of twelve storage tanks. Many other tanks (called inactive tanks), which contain historical liquids and sludges generated by past activities, will be remediated; th… more

Preliminary analysis of the ORNL Liquid Low-Level Waste system

Description: The objective of this report is to summarize the status of the Liquid Low-Level Waste (LLLW) Systems Analysis project. The focus of this project has been to collect and tabulate data concerning the LLLW system, analyze the current LLLW system operation, and develop the information necessary for the development of long-term treatment options for the LLLW generated at ORNL. The data used in this report were collected through a survey of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) literature, various let… more

Update of the management strategy for Oak Ridge National Laboratory Liquid Low-Level Waste

Description: The strategy for management of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory`s (ORNL) radioactively contaminated liquid waste was reviewed in 1991. The latest information available through the end of 1990 on waste characterization, regulations, US Department of Energy (DOE) budget guidance, and research and development programs was evaluated to determine how the strategy should be revised. Few changes are needed to update the strategy to reflect new waste characterization, research, and regulatory informat… more

Statistical description of liquid low-level waste system supernatant liquids at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Description: The Department of Energy has presented plans for processing transuranic low level liquid wastes located at ORNL. The Tennessee Department of Health and Environment has mandated the beginning of processing of these wastes by the year 2002, looking towards permanent disposal at a site located off the reservation. In order to meet this schedule, the DOE will solicit bids from various private sector companies to construct a processing facility to be operated by the private sector on a contract basi… more
