A major focus of this program involves the retrieval, processing, and immobilization of waste into stable, solid waste forms for disposal. Waste Forms Technology and Performance, a report requested by DOE-EM, examines requirements for waste form technology and performance in the cleanup program. The report provides information to DOE-EM to support improvements in methods for processing waste and selecting and fabricating waste forms. Waste forms technology and performance places particular emphasis on processing technologies for high-level radioactive waste, DOE's most expensive and arguably most difficult cleanup challenge. The report's key messages are presented in ten findings and one recommendation."--Publisher's description.10aUnited States. 0aRadioactive waste siteszUnited StatesxEvaluation. 0aRadioactive waste disposalzUnited StatesxEvaluation. 0aRadioactive waste siteszUnited StatesxPlanning. 0aRadioactive waste disposalzUnited StatesxForecasting.2 aNational Research Council (U.S.).bNuclear and Radiation Studies Board.
