Progress on TRANSCEND Theme 1: Integrated Waste Management - 20194

Abstract

The management of radioactive waste includes mobilisation, processing, packaging, storage, transport and final disposal. Research in the Integrated Waste Management theme of TRANSCEND focuses on underpinning science and engineering in areas of relevance to hazard reduction and decommissioning and the objectives are to: (1) develop new materials for effluent decontamination; (2) demonstrate predictive modelling of sludge/slurry removal, underpinned by experimental data; (3) transform understanding of radiation-driven processes in nuclear waste sludges; and (4) provide underpinning studies to develop innovative processes and wasteform materials. This paper gives overviews of the 16 research projects that will be done over the next 3 years in this theme. (authors)

West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) for Calendar Year 2025

The report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy West Valley Demonstration Project office (DOE-WVDP), summarizes the environmental protection program at the WVDP for calendar year (CY) 2025. Monitoring and surveillance of the facilities used by the DOE are conducted to verify protection of public health and safety and the environment. The report is a key component of the DOE’s effort to keep the public informed of environmental conditions at the WVDP. The quality assurance protocols applied to the environmental monitoring program ensure the validity and accuracy of the monitoring data. In addition to demonstrating compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and directives, the evaluation of data collected in 2025 continued to indicate that WVDP activities posed no threat to public health or safety, or to the environment.
