                  Polysiloxane Encapsulation of Calcined Waste
                                   May 6, 1999
                                     Rev. 1

               1.0      Introduction

                        Methods for the final disposition of reprocessed nuclear
                        fuel are being examined by the Department of Energy
                        (DOE). The DOE would like to avoid the high cost of
                        building a glass melter, which would melt the material
                        into a glass waste form for shipment to a Federal
                        permanent disposal site, by either temporarily
                        stabilizing the waste for shipment to an off site
                        melter, or by using a non-thermal encapsulation process
                        that would satisfy waste shipping and acceptance
                        criteria at the proposed disposal site. Polysiloxane
                        encapsulation is a potential candidate technology that
                        could achieve these goals.

                        Nuclear fuel was reprocessed at the Idaho Nuclear
                        Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) at the Idaho
                        National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory
                        (INEEL) in a process that resulted in a dry granular
                        high level waste called Calcined waste. Lockheed Martin
                        Idaho Technologies Company (LMITCO) is tasked with
                        determining whether or not polysiloxane encapsulation is
                        a viable technology for disposing of this waste.

                        The polysiloxane encapsulation process is a simple room
                        temperature mixing process of the base material
                        (including proprietary fillers) with any dry granular
                        waste material and then adding a catalyst to stimulate a
                        silicon polymerization process. LMITCO requires the
                        assistance of a subcontractor in determining the
                        viability of this process as a waste disposal method.

               2.0      Scope/Technical Tasks

                        Stored at the INEEL INTEC is a variety of "pilot scale"
                        non-radioactive surrogates of the calcined waste. This
                        waste consists of salts and a variety of heavy metal
                        constituents and is, therefore, considered hazardous
                        material. The material is expected to be similar to that
                        formulated during the INEEL low level calcined waste
                        study performed by the subcontractor in 1998.

                        LMITCO shall ship to the subcontractor approximately 5
                        gal. of the pilot scale material for encapsulation with
                        polysiloxane. The subcontractor shall subject the
                        resultant waste forms to a variety of testing protocols.

                        The subcontractor shall submit to LMITCO for approval, a
                        test plan and a waste management plan. After approval by
                        LMITCO, the subcontractor shall assay a representative
                        sample of the pilot scale material to verify the heavy
                        metal composition. The subcontractor shall then perform
                        a mixing study in which a variety of scavengers will be
                        added to the waste and/or the polysiloxane material.
                        This final waste form shall not only be cohesive but
                        shall pass a Toxicity Characteristic Leach Procedure
                        (TCLP) test, performed in house (not by an outside
                        laboratory) by the subcontractor. A cohesive sample is
                        one in which the compressive strength is on the order of
                        400psi.

                        The subcontractor shall use the most promising mixture
                        of waste and polysiloxane (the mixture that gives the
                        highest waste loading and still passes TCLP and
                        compressive strength tests), to form a monolith, which
                        the subcontractor shall test using the testing protocol
                        defined by the Materials Characterization Center MCC- 1P
                        Static Leach Test Method. The subcontractor shall
                        subject the sample to the Department of Transportation
                        (DOT) oxidizer testing and corrosive testing.

                        The subcontractor shall form a sample of the material
                        and subject it to melting in a crucible to determine the
                        melting temperature of the mixture (a possible
                        subcontractor for this work is Corning Environmental
                        Laboratory Services).

                        The subcontractor shall summarize the results of these
                        studies in a letter report, which LMITCO wall
                        incorporate into an INEEL publication.

                        Finally, the subcontractor shall properly dispose of the
                        resultant material accumulated during the study
                        according to State and facility requirements. The
                        subcontractor may perform the above-described tasks in
                        any logical order following the approval of the test and
                        waste management plan submittals and performance of the
                        mixing study.

                        The subcontractor shall permanently dispose of all
                        residual materials as part of this project, and shall
                        provide all notifications to state and facility
                        authorities as required.

                3.0     Deliverables/Schedule

                o       The subcontractor shall submit a Waste Management Plan
                        including the method for final disposition of the
                        approximately 5 gal. of pilot scale material. This plan
                        will take the form of a letter report transmittal. Due
                        date May 31, 1999.
                o       The subcontractor shall submit a Test Plan that shall
                        include all procedures to be followed, all analytical
                        techniques to be used in the evaluation of the
                        encapsulation process and final waste form, and a
                        complete list of equipment to be used. The subcontractor
                        shall send this Plan to the INEEL as hard copy and Word
                        disc. Due date June 7, 1999.

                Testing Phase
                -------------

                o       The subcontractor shall prepare a mixing study starting
                        with the scavenger addition techniques used during FY-98
                        testing (low level calcined waste fraction work). Prior
                        to perforating the TCLP, the subcontractor shall
                        evaluate the waste form for heavy metal assay and shall
                        determine the ppm for heavy metals. The subcontractor
                        shall formulate the waste form with the highest possible
                        waste loading that will still pass the TCLP and provide
                        a solid monolith with between 300-500 psi compressive
                        strength. The TCLP testing will not require outside
                        laboratory verification, however, the subcontractor
                        shall document the results and procedures used.

                o       The subcontractor shall use the most favorable mix
                        obtained in the Mixing Study, and subject it to the MCC
                        -IP testing protocol. The subcontractor shall document
                        results.

<PAGE>

                o       Using the most favorable mix, the subcontractor shall
                        perform a specially designed "drop" test to determine
                        the resultant size distribution of the waste form
                        following a drop that simulates dropping a stainless
                        steel cylinder containing waste from a height of 9m onto
                        a pad simulating a standard cement roadbed. The
                        subcontractor may perform an acceptable substitute test
                        by subjecting the actual waste form to the same forces
                        that would be transmitted to the waste form inside the
                        canister. The subcontractor shall provide a CAMCORDER
                        record of this drop test and submit it with the other
                        collected data. In addition, the subcontractor shall
                        provide to LMITCO a still photographic record of the
                        before impact and after impact. The subcontractor shall
                        obtain the size distribution of the waste by using
                        standard geological soil sieves.

                o       Using the most favorable mix obtained in the Mixing
                        Study, the subcontractor shall subject the waste form to
                        "in house" DOT oxidizer testing and shall perform an
                        industry standard corrosiveness test.

                o       Using the most favorable mix obtained in the Mixing
                        Study, the subcontractor shall heat a small sample in a
                        crucible test to determine the melting temperature. This
                        work can be done "in house" or by an outside contractor
                        such as Corning Environmental Laboratories Services. The
                        subcontractor shall photograph the resultant "glass"
                        material against a high contrast background for visual
                        display.

                The subcontractor shall complete all of the required testing by
                September 1, 1999, and shall provide a final submittal with
                useable tabularized data, in hardcopy form as well as a WORD
                disc, along with negatives of any photographs such that report
                quality figures can be generated. Due date September 15, 1999.

                LMITCO Supplied items:

                o       LMITCO will ship to the subcontractor the approximately
                        5gal. of pilot scale waste for testing by June 15, 1999.
                        A one-for-one schedule slippage will be allowed to the
                        subcontractor in the event that there are unforeseen
                        delays in shipment of the material.
                o       LMITCO will publish the final report. In this report,
                        all past work on polysiloxane encapsulation studies will
                        be included along with the subject results. In addition,
                        LMITCO will include the radiation effects results based
                        on the Kurchakov Institute work sponsored by the
                        subcontractor. The subcontractor will be consulted for
                        verification of these test results before publication.
                o       LMITCO will ensure that the 1997 environmental audit of
                        the subcontractor facility is still valid. It is noted
                        here that the environmental audit performed by Ken
                        Gilbert of INEEL covered a much more restrictive case of
                        mixed waste (pad-A salts and the WERF ash), It is
                        assumed that shipment of essentially the same material
                        used in the FY-98 study, namely hazardous waste only,
                        will be considered covered under the prior audit.
