Abstract
Wastes generated in shielded hot cells containing materials contaminated with transuranic (TRU) waste present unique problems in waste disposal at Department of Energy (DOE) sites. Reduction of the TRU waste footprint is desirable from a disposal cost perspective due to constraints with RH waste processing and a lack of space availability at the WIPP. Segregation of waste through a pelletized CO2 system provides a viable method this goal.
