Description
Atomics International is designing and constructing a Molten Salt Combustion System to reduce the volume of solid radioactive waste received and generated at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) in the United States. This 45 kg/hr system will be used, initially, for the reduction of beta, gamma-contaminated waste and then later for alpha-bearing waste. This paper describes the Molten Salt Combustion concept of oxidizing combustible waste with air in molten sodium carbonate and summarizes the background development work. The paper will also discuss the design and equipment selection for the INEL unit
