National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Handling and Treatment of Uranium Contaminated Combustible Radioactive Low Level Waste (LLW).

DE2004828320

Publication Date	2002
Personal Author	Lorenzen, J.; Lindberg, M.; Loevstrand, J.
Page Count	14
Abstract	Studsvik RadWaste in Sweden has many years of experience in handling of low-level radioactive waste, such as burnable waste for incineration and scrap metal for melting. In Erwin, TN, in the USA, Studsvik Inc also operates a THOR (pyrolysis) facility for treatment of various kinds of ion-exchange resins. The advantage of incineration of combustible waste as well as of ion-exchange resins by pyrolysis, is the vast volume reduction which minimizes the cost for final storage and results in an inert end-product which is feasible for safe final disposal.
Keywords	Low level radioactive wastes Radioactive waste disposal Uranium Contamination Combustion Ion exchange Leaching Radioactive wastes Melting Mining Municipal wastes Pyrolysis Residues Resins Scrap metals Radioactive waste storage
