Introduction
This ftnal letter report in support of WRAP's shred-grout module is more an extension of the
April 1991 draft report than a final version. The April 1991 report discussed ;routint, facilities at a
variety.of US DOE sites and provided informatior;ab9sttthe-use of--routsinrhe iru France,
Germany, Korea, Japan, Finland, and Taiwan. Over fifty reports and papers were supplied as
supporting documents. Very little information from the draft report will be repeated in this letter
report, only the executive summary and the introduction. The draft report made no
--recammendations, dr'w no conclusions or discussed lessons learned. This Threport will address these
4epics.--Also included are -a number of-additionai reports and documents in support of WRAP's
shred-grout module.
LESSONS LEARNED
.. .
--- --- --- -Processand-.ormtlafion developmert in listed papers and reporis aescnoed success stories. IF vou
do things in the prescribed manner the end result will be an acceptable product. The major lesson
learned was from information provided by the Martin Marietta Energy Systems K-25 Site Sludge
Fixation Facility. The problems at this facility have received wide press coverage. This facility can
serve as an example as what not to do or what happens when processes are not properly developed
prior to plant operations.
Little process development was performed prior to plant design and construction. The feelings were
t hat we were just making concrete, not doing brain surgery, and anyone can make good concrete.
It is a well established art.
