From page 1...
... The first task involved monitoring the scientific and technical progress of ANL's R&D program on electrometallurgical techniques for the treatment of DOE spent nuclear fuel, including both the redirected research program at ANL-East (ANL-E) and the fuel treatment program at ANL-West (ANL-W)

From page 2...
... The committee encourages ANL to proceed aggressively to resolve the R&D issues and move rapidly into a demonstration phase that identifies process definitions and conditions. Demonstration Project Implementation Plan In the March 1997 report, the committee noted the benefits to be gained by formalizing the organizational arrangements of the demonstration project, both at ANL-E and ANL-W, and between the two ANL sites (NRC, 1997a)

From page 3...
... DOE should establish acceptance criteria for waste forms scheduledfor storage in a geologic repository. The electrometullurgical technology program currently is forced to assume that its own definition will be acceptable to the U.S.
