Investigations in Ceramicrete Stabilization of Hanford Tank Wastes.

DE2004827604

Publication Date	2003
Personal Author	Wagh, A. S.; Maloney, M. D.; Thomson, G. H.; Antink, A.
Page Count	16
Abstract	This paper provides a summary of investigations done on feasibility of using Ceramicrete technology to stabilize high level salt waste streams typical of Hanford and other sites. We used two non-radioactive simulants that covered the range of properties from low activity to high level liquids and sludges. One represented tank supernate, containing Cr, Pb, and Ag as the major hazardous metals, and Cs as the fission products; the other, a waste sludge, contained Cd, Cr, Ag, Ni, and Ba as the major hazardous contaminants, and Cs, and Tc as the fission products.
