From page 1...
... This report focuses on waste forms and processing technologies for high-level radioactive waste, DOE's most expensive and arguably most difficult cleanup challenge. The following key messages emerged from this study: • Two characteristics of waste forms govern their performance in disposal systems: (1)
From page 2...
... • There is time during the remaining decades of the cleanup program to incorporate advances in scientific understanding of waste form properties and behavior and waste form production technology to achieve significant improvements in cleanup operations. DOE-EM should enhance its capabilities for identifying, developing where appropriate, and utilizing state-of-the-art science and technology on waste forms, waste form production processes, and waste form performance.
