Operating radioactive liquid-fed ceramic melter system

Creators

Description

Under sponsorship of the Department of Energy's Nuclear Waste Treatment Program (NWTP), a high-level radioactive waste vitrification system has been installed in the Radiochemical Engineering Facility at Hanford, Washington. The pilot-scale radioactive vitrification system consists of a melter, canister-handling turntable, glass-level detection system, and supporting waste preparation, off-gas treatment and condensate treatment systems. During the past year, radioactive shakedown testing of all the systems has occurred, preparing it for production-type operation campaigns in 1986. This paper discusses the results of the radioactive shakedown completed in 1985
