Mobile Systems Capabilities for Transuranic Waste Characterization and Privatization Initiative

The U.S. Department of Energy, Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) has developed a comprehensive database documenting all available technologies related to mobile characterization, treatment, and repackaging of transuranic (TRU) waste. The CAO will use this compilation in its mission to certify TRU waste for disposal. This undertaking took the cooperation of companies from the private sector and several national laboratories active in the research, development, and engineering of mobile waste measurement systems applicable to TRU waste characterization. The CBFO solicited information from companies in the U.S. and abroad. The information obtained thus far corresponds to the following broad technical categories:

Characterization

  • Nondestructive Examination

  • Nondestructive Assay

  • Visual Examination

  • Headspace Gas Analysis

  • Drum Coring and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Sampling

  • Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Analysis

Radiochemistry

Repackaging

Drum Venting

TRUPACT Mobile Loading and Unloading

Decommissioning, Decontamination, and Treatment

Data Validation

If your company would like to participate in this study by sharing information about its products and services or contribute ideas and suggestions about privatization initiatives relevant to mobile TRU waste characterization technologies, please write to Sheila Lott, CTAC-MSV, P.O. Box 1270, Carlsbad, NM 88221; Phone (505) 234-3149; E-mail: SLOTT@WIPP.WS - or - Sue Nielson, DOE/CBFO at NIELSOS@WIPP.WS. Information about your company and its list of products will be placed into the database and will be available to interested DOE and commercial parties through the CTAC Mobile Waste Characterization Information Clearing House currently being established.
