Creators

  • 1. Westinghouse Savannah River Co., Aiken, SC (USA)
  • 2. Westinghouse Hanford Co., Richland, WA (USA)

Description

The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) and the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant (HWVP) projects will provide similar facilities for producing vitrified high-level defense waste in scaled, stainless-steel canisters. The respective production sites will also provide interim storage for at least some of the canistered waste pending availability of a permanent repository. The canistered waste form will be produced under stringent controls to support final placement in the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) licensed, deep geological repository
