Description

The low-level radioactive waste incinerator at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) has been processing contaminated waste since September 1984 and is now accepting combustible waste from all INEL waste generators. Waste generators at the INEL sending their wastes to the incinerator for processing must comply with waste acceptance limits and supply appropriate packaging. The incinerator operations during the past year have produced very high waste volume reduction factors (100/1 to 250/1), low radioactive emission rates, and low operator dose rates. Changes in the off-gas system operation have been made to extend the life of the bags in the baghouse
