Immobilization of incinerator ash in a concrete matrix

Description: The ashcrete process will solidfy ash generated by the consolidated Incinerator Facility (CIF) at the Savannah River Plant (SRP). The ashcrete unit produces ashcrete, a stable cement-based wasteform, by remotely adding cement and water and tumbling drums of ash. Ashcrete product homogeneity, temperature rise during setting, and compressive strength were measured and product formulations were developed for several nonradioactive dry ash types. Saturation level and wet and dry ash densities for s… more

Demonstration of remotely operated TRU waste size reduction and material handling equipment

Description: The Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) is developing remote size reduction and material handling equipment to prepare /sup 238/Pu contaminated waste for permanent disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico. The waste is generated at the Savannah River Plant (SRP) from normal operation and decommissioning activity and is retrievably stored onsite. A Transuranic Waste Facility for preparing, size-reducing, and packaging this waste for disposal is scheduled for completion in 199… more

Televiewer measurement of in-situ stress direction at the Fenton Hill Hot Dry Rock Site, New Mexico

Description: The in situ stresses at Fenton Hill has been determined in drill hole EE-3A by observations of wellbore breakouts on imagery obtained with a televiewer logging tool. Wellbore shape, tool offcentering, and tool misalignment cause geometric distortions which have been treated by comparing imagery from two logging runs made six months apart. The comparison establishes that wellbore degradation in drill hole EE-3A is due to breakouts, which grow larger with time. The azimuth of the axis of minimum … more
