... waste components from the molten processing salt of the EMT process and (2) an outline of a qualification testing plan for both the proposed ceramic and metal waste forms.
From page 3...
... Earlier experimental work does not suggest to the committee that this approach is an attractive alternative to EMT. Plasma Arc Although plasma arc processing has been used successfully to treat nonradioactive and low-level radioactive wastes, significant research, development, and demonstration would be needed to process SNF because of the much higher fission product and fissile material content.
From page 4...
... In recognition of the progress that ANE has made in the demonstration and in accord with the committee's previous recommendations, the committee recommends to DOE that ANE's demonstration project be carried to completion. 4 Electrometallurgical Techniques for DOE Spent Fuel Treatment: Status Report on Argonne National Laboratory's R&D Activity Through Spring 1997, National Academy Press, Washington, D.C., 1997, p.
