· Technical risk reduction reports on supercritical water oxidation accelerated blended feed tests and blended feed performance tests. 2 Schedule, as normally defined, does not apply to the SCWO process because SCWO is the final unit in the process and it is only required to treat the hydrolysate at the rate it is generated.

Although the experimental evidence presented to the committee for assessment of the SCWO unit design for the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant is persuasive, there is a lack of basic understanding of the physical and chemical processes involved in achieving tolerable corrosion rates and in the corrosion process itself.

for the Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant in Pueblo, Colorado, and the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant in Richmond, Kentucky, to consider the technical aspects of systems configurations, maturity, and schedule. The committee will provide a review to the Army of these proposals to advise them in their procurement decisions regarding award of the task order.

His extensive experience includes membership on NRC's ACWA committee and on the Mitretek Systems expert panel reviewing the quantitative risk assessments and safety analyses of hazardous materials handling, storage, and waste treatment systems for the Army's Anniston, Umatilla, Pine Bluff, and Aberdeen chemical agent disposal facilities. He also participated in a consequence screening assessment for the Newport Chemical Disposal Facility.
