March 198.1, is included.
2.4 IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY PROCESS EXPERI,vfENTAL
PILOT PLANT (PREPP)
During the early 1980s, INEL embarked on an effort to develop a facility to treat past and
future TRU solid waste at the INEL in order to certify it for disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot
Plant (WIPP).
The conceot was to shred, incinerate, and solidifynoncombustibles and ash residues in a
cement matrix.
A report prepared by Ralph M. Parsons Co., "Study Report for RWivfC Process
Experimental Pilot Plant Cementing," is included. This report contains the results of a study on
grout mixtures, mixing equipment, and methods to be used in the Process Experimental Pilot
Plant (new building) conceptual design. Even though this report was prepared in the 1930-51
timeframe, it is still a valid document.
This report assumed a new building. INEL chose to build the facility in an existing
building. The facility never became operational and is being closed out during FY 1991.

25 SOILCRETE AT INEL
In the mid 1980s, INEL considered solidifying contaminated soil in a cement-based matrix.
bfi.x design was performed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. No funds were appropriated
for plant design.
