Complex concentrate pretreatment FY 1986 progress report

Abstract
After of the transuranic elements are removed from complex concentrate waste by the TRUEX process, the remaining waste will be grouted for final storage. The purpose of this project, conducted at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), is to support a future decision to grout the complexant waste without destroying the organic contents. In work performed this year, it has been demonstrated that grouts with acceptable parameters for the Transportable Grout Facility can be made using actual waste. The acceptability of these grouts from a regulatory view seems to be less of a problem than was thought at this time last year. None of the organics found in the waste are included on the US Environmental Protection Agency's Hazardous Chemicals List. 7 refs., 12 figs., 4 tabs.
