suitable immobilization technologies is a critical element in the completion
of the WRAP 2A conceptual design effort.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work includes the following work elements:
a.d-- Prepare- a- plan--tc perfarm-all elements of the work described for
approval by WHC prior to the start of work.
3.2 Prepare a quality assurance plan for approval by WHC prior to the
start of work.
3.3 Develop optimum formulations for the immobilization of the
surrogate wastes supplied by WHC.
3.4 Prepare waste form qualification specimens as necessary to
complete all required laboratory tests.
31 5 --Dprform laboratory qualif3caxien testing and analyses of °
immobilized waste forms.
3.6 Support the conceptual design effort for the WRAP 2A polymer
immobilization process facilities.
3.7 Prepare progress reports and a final report to fully document all
development and testing activities associated with this work.
4.0 DESCRIPTION OF TESTING
Thirty-j36j pounds each of the four surrogate waste simulants will be prepared
and furnished by WHC for use in the testing. Table 1 summarizes the
approximate chemical compositions of the surrogate wastes. The surrogates
will be prepared by dissolving the required salts in water and evaporating to
the desired moisture content. A complete description of the procedures used
to prepare the surrogates, and full chemical analysis of each surrogate waste
shal-l-be-supplied-by-WHC,--including-material-safety-data-sheets for all
ingredients used to prepare the surrogates. The surrogate wastes will not
contain any radionuclides.
The contractor shall be responsible for developing the optimum formulation to
be used for preparing the qualification specimens. Qualification testing
specimens shall then be prepared using the optimum formulation for each
surrogate waste type.
A-minimum o-f-ei-ght quaT1firation specimens shall be prepared from each of the
su{-rugat^ wastes suppiied 'ey WHC. All qualification specimens shall be
prepared from a single batch of processed waste. The minimum batch size shall
