Summary
[edit]DescriptionSite Marks Waste Processing Milestone with Melter’s 2,000th Waste Canister (7604735944).jpg |
A Savannah River Remediation employee uses a manipulator located inside a shielded enclosure at the Defense Waste Processing Facility, where a melter pours molten glass into a canister. The melter at Savannah River Site’s (SRS) Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is a 65-ton refractory-lined melting vessel that receives a chemically-balanced feed of treated high-level waste from the site’s underground waste tanks. A mixture known as borosilicate frit is used to remove contamination. When heated, these elements form a molten glass. The solid glass-formed waste is then poured into stainless-steel canisters, which are safely stored onsite until they can be placed in permanent storage. |
