Radioactive and Mixed Waste

Sulfur polymer cement shows promise as an encapsulation and stabilization agent for use with low level radioactive and mixed wastes. Use of SPC allows accommodation of larger percentages of waste than PCC. As of this writing (1997), SPC-treated waste forms have met requirements of both the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). [Pg.126]

Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (Perma-Fix), has developed the Perma-Fix Process for the neutralization and stabilization of hazardons, radioactive, and mixed wastes. The Perma-Fix Process is a two-step treatment involving proprietary chemical treatment of wastes followed by the addition of stabilization chemicals to create a final waste form with the hazardous component of the wastes neutrahzed. The technology has been used commercially for several years. [Pg.859]

Regulatory Definition of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Waste. Existing federal regulations give specific regulatory definitions for all waste types. Wastes that are of most Interest to environmental restoration and waste management are hazardous waste, radioactive waste, and mixed waste. [Pg.10]

MEPAS allows the user to prioritize hazardous, radioactive, and mixed-waste sites, based on their potential hazard to public health. MEPAS is applicable to a wide range of environmental management and regulatory conditions including inactive sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), and active sites releasing air and water contaminants regulated under other statutory acts.

The closest technical area to TA-V and the HCF is TA-lll. TA-III facilities embrace extensive test facilities (sled tracks, centrifuges, and a radiant heat facility). TA-III also encompasses the inactive chemical, mixed, and low-level waste landfills, the Melting and Solidification Laboratory (MSL), and the Radioactive and Mixed Waste Management Facility (RMWMF).

Radioactive waste is transferred to the Radioactive and Mixed Waste Management Facility, or to another facility operated by representatives of the ES H Center responsible for radioactive and mixed waste management. Radioactive waste is ultimately shipped for disposai at a disposal site approved by DOE. [Pg.274]

These units include various types of liquid waste disposal sites, underground tanks, and unplanned release sites. The wastes disposed of in these units include nonhazardous solid, hazardous radioactive, and mixed waste. Section 7.0 describes these waste units in more detail. To comply with CERCLA regulations, the four aggregate areas (100, 200, 300, and 1100) were divided into 78 operable units. Two of these units are located at N Reactor (Figure 6-2). [Pg.242]
