Tests are underway to find substitute filters used to remove radioactive particles from various liquid waste streams. Initial test results of a kevlar fiber filter show promise in reducing the amount of transuranic filter waste by 100 drums per year. Using the kevlar filters can also reduce the volume of waste filter by 33 percent compared to the existing filter. No details of the scale of the tests were provided. The practices resulted in reduced production of waste chlorinated solvents, and use of oil-based paints.
Technologies result in reduced waste generation and reduced future liability.
Plant Standards require certain areas of the plant to be covered with oil-based paint. 7600-A Leesburg Pike, Falls Church Virginia 22043. This assumption is made based on repeated reference to freon- 113 in the article. This assumption was used in section 5.6 of this abstract when reporting the quantity of freon-113 waste before and after the minimization program. 13.0 Peer Review Unknown.
