Developments in Processing Criteria for Iron Phosphate Waste Form Design for Treating Electrorefiner Salt Wastes

Abstract

This report describes work done under a Nuclear Energy University Partnership (NEUP) project that included a collaborative effort between Pacific Northwest National laboratory, University of Nevada Reno, University to Utah, and Missouri University of Science and Technology. In this project, the main goals were the following: (1) to assess H3PO4 dechlorination parameters for halide removal from salt simulants, (2) to evaluate crucible compatibility with iron phosphate glass melts, and (3) to evaluate waste form properties within a ternary system of P2O5 (added as H3PO4), Fe2O3 and fission product simulants.

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.
