Pelletized Waste Form Demonstration Program, April-September 1980
Description
During this six-month reporting period, performance testing of waste/cement pellets was continued. These evaluations included radiolysis, leachability, and compressive strength. As a part of the Waste Certification Program, alpha radiolysis testing of strippable paint and polyurethane foam was also performed. No measurable amounts of gas were generated by alpha-radiolytic attack of the WD sludge/cement matrix. Gases were, however, generated in the paint and foam experiments. The installation and cold demonstration of the Production Waste Pelletization Line were accomplished. Several 1-in.-dia pellets with L/D ratios of 0.5 to 0.7 were manufactured using a semiautomatic press and die set. Hot pellets will be produced as scheduled during the month of October 1980
