,--,, 3.0 TESTING SCOPE AND DESCRIPTION
The current focus of this test work is to verify the ability of various
immobilization media to adequately solidify the waste feedstreams identified
€or-WRAP--2A----The-base}}ne-destgn--as provid'd in the conceptual design for
this facility was used as guidance in selecting which technologies should be
applied for testing ( i.e., thermosetting polymer and cement based immobilization
matrices). The following sections describe the logic in selecting the
waste types and waste forms for testing, as well as a description of the
testing approach. Detailed test plans are provided in the Appendixes A, B,
and C.

Because of the lack of definition for some of the feedstreams identified
for WRAP 2A, not all streams have been addressed in this initial testing
phase. Instead, the approach taken was to address the large volume
feedstreams that would have the greatest impact on facility design. These
include 183H Basin Waste, LETF Secondary Solids (C-018 and L-045), and ash
from thermal treatment. Together these represent the majority of the total
feed to WRAP 2A. Certain other feedstreams, such as ion exchange resins and
elemental lead, were not chosen for this testing phase because successful
treatment of these streams has been sufficiently demonstrated commercially.
The other smaller feedstreams for WRAP 2A will be tested at a later date.
The specific waste types selected for this phase of testing are shown in
Table 3-1.
