Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant: The project and process systems

Creators

Description

Construction of the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant (HWVP) Project is scheduled to start on the Hanford Reservation in southeastern Washington State in 1991. The Project will immobilize liquid high-level and transuranic (TRU) defense wastes stored there and permit ultimate disposal of the waste in the nation's commercial deep geological repository. This document discusses the project and process systems. The HWVP represents the third phase of the US Department of Energy (DOE) activities that are focused on the permanent disposal of high-level radioactive waste, building on the experience of the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) at the Savannah River Site, South Carolina, and of the Waste Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP), New York
