best characterization data, and most immediate need 'was determined to be
CH-MLLW. The hazards and technical uncertainties associated with performing
the required thermal treatment for organic wastes would impede the progress of
dealing with inorganic wastes. Hence, organic wastes were deferred to a
ttrermrall facility project scope; and WRAP 2A was initiated as a treatment
-facil-ity--for--inorganic -CH-MLLW- conta-ined -in -drums-or -wast-e boxes.
The WRAP 2B is proposed as a follow-on project to WRAP 2A, which will
provide treatment for remote handled (RH), large, or otherwise noncompliant
waste. The need for WRAP 2B as a separate project is based on the uncertainty
in the characteristics of these waste types, the uncertainty in dispositioning
these waste types, and the inherent design differences between a facility that
handles CH waste and one that handles RH waste.

1.2 WRAP 2A FEEDSTREAM OVERVIEW
and Processing.
The feedstreams for WRAP 2A have been identified by a review of the
records of the_waste that is currently in storage and a survey of the

into several feedstream categories based on similarity in waste type and
source and the perceived treatability of the wastes by various technologies.
For the purposes of conceptual design for the facility, the wastes have been
grouped into eight major categories and several subcategories. The total
throughput to WRAP 2A is estimated to be on the order of 850 m3 (30,000 ft3)
each year. The feedstreams are described in the following sections.
