Japanese researchers test detection devices at West Valley
Two research scientists from Japan’s Kyoto University and Kochi University of Technology visited the West Valley Demonstration Project in western New York state earlier this fall to test their novel radiation detectors, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced on November 19.
Technical Session|Sponsored by FCWMD
Wednesday, June 15, 2022|10:15AM–12:00PM PDT|Santa Monica
Session Chair:
Tejaswini Vaidya (Univ. Idaho)
Alternate Chair:
Christina Leggett (Booz Allen Hamilton/ARPA-E)
Session Organizer:
Treatment and conditioning are used to convert radioactive, mixed, and hazardous wastes from various waste processing or used nuclear fuel reprocessing activities into inert waste forms for transportation, storage, and final disposal. The treated and conditioned wastes must ultimately be disposed of in a suitable disposal facility. Multiple disposal options are currently being considered for the most highly radioactive wastes, including geologic repositories and deep borehole disposal. This session discusses advances made in waste form development, reprocessing facility off-gas capture technologies, and disposal facility design and optimization.
