Description

Construction of the United States' first facility to immobilize high-level nuclear waste, the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is discussed. In the DWPF Savannah River Site (SRS), high-level radioactive waste will be immobilized in borosilicate glass. Production of canistered wasteforms by the DWPF is scheduled to begin well before submission of the license application for the first repository. The Department of Energy (DOE) has defined waste acceptance specifications to ensure that DWPF canistered wasteforms will be acceptable for eventual disposal. To ensure that canistered wasteforms meet those specifications, a program is being carried out to qualify the wasteform and those aspects of the production process which affect production quality. This program is described
