Development of a slurry-fed in-can melter for nuclear defense waste

Creators

Description

In-Can Melting is the backup vitrification process for Savannah River Plant waste. A full-scale, nonradioactive process has been studied in which a slurry of waste sludge and glass formers is fed to a heated can. Saturated steam is used to cool the off-gas. Initial results show the concept to be viable. 4 figures
