摘要

Argonne National Laboratory-West (ANL-W) has a full suite of nuclear facilitiesrnincluding two large hot cell facilities, analytical chemistry laboratory, sodium processingrnfacilities, two operating reactors, electron microscopy laboratory and various supportrnfacilities. ANL-W is located on the Idaho National Engineering and EnvironmentalrnLaboratory, but is operated by University of Chicago under the Department of EnergyrnChicago Operations office. Although the primary funding source is from the Office ofrnNuclear Energy, Science and Technology, many of the programs are focused on solvingrnwaste management problems. The Spent Fuel Treatment project is treating sodiumbondedrnspent nuclear fuel and recovering uranium for interim storage. The fissionrnproducts and transuranic elements from this fuel are being incorporated into two highrnlevel waste forms: a metal waste and glass bonded ceramic. This project includesrntreatment operations, process implementation, remote equipment design, and waste formrnqualification. These activities involve all aspects of waste management and newrntechnology application.rnThe second large ANL-W project involving DOE-NE is the Plant Closure Project whichrninvolves the processing of a large quantity of elemental sodium coolant and the placing ofrnthe Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) into a industrially and radiologically saferncondition. The sodium process has been developed and implemented at ANL-W and hasrnbeen processing sodium for the past eighteen months. The EBR-II work involvesrndeactivating systems and removing hazards so that minimum surveillance will bernrequired until the reactor is decommissioned.rnIn addition to these large projects, ANL-W is using its unique suite of facilities to addressrnwaste management problems throughout the DOE complex. Various waste processrnoperations are preparing many different streams for disposal including visual examinationrnof WIPP wastes, gas generation experiments, phytoremediation of soils, solidification ofrnhazardous liquids and sludges, characterization of greater than class C wastes andrnimmobilization of HEPA filters. New non-destructive examination methods are alsornbeing developed and tested in support of spent fuel and waste characterizationrnrequirements. All of these activities are possible because of the existing infrastructurernthat enables the ANL-W site to handle large quantities of transuranics and high activityrnradioactive materials in a safe manner while implementing new and innovativerntechnologies.
