A.report entitled "Grout Testing and Characterization for Shallow-Land Burial Trenches at
the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory," ORNL/I',^f-9881, October 1936, is included.
2.6 SAVANNAH RIVER SITE (SRS)
SRS chose a cement-based matrie to solidify contaminated salt for disposal. This matrix is
called saltstone and is described in the following handout provided by SRS. For additional
information, see literature search and proceedings of Spectrum '88 folder which is included.
27 ROCKY FLATS PLANT (RFP)
The Rocky Flats Plant, together with Quadrex, Inc., took a novel approach with some of
their TRU streams that are difficult to process with standard processing equipment. Quadrex
developed a processing technique that fluidizes both waste and cement-based components with an
inert volatile halocarbon carrier, i.e., the "Inert Carrier Concrete process." This process is
described in Dole and Row's "Development Programs in the United States of America for the
Application of Cement-Based Grouts in Radioactive Waste Management " A copy of the report
is included.
?R PnN1^C RFiF.
RFP chose to fix some of their pond sludge in a cement-based matrix. The waste form
failed to meet necessa'ry criteria. No report is available.
2.9 MOUND LABORATORY (MI.) WASTE P?=11.F117e TION PROCESS
DEMONSTRATION
TMound Laboratory (ML) developed a TRU waste immobilization method for the 3,IL
cyclone-incinerator ash, sludges, salt residues, and contaminated soil. The Materials Research
Laboratory (MRL) at the Pennsylvania State University had shown that strong, dense, and
