Development of Treatment Technology RWM247 - Datasheets for inclusion in the Problematic Waste Integrated Project Team Toolkit

Tender description

The scope of the work is to develop datasheets, using the template provided by the PW IPT (see the example on the next page), for the following material groups: • Sources: Includes neutron sources containing Cf-252, Am/Be, Am/Li and Ra/Be, National Disposal Services sources, other sealed/closed sources including leaking sources that have been re-sealed. Excluded are open sources containing liquids (covered in a different material group) • Uranics: Includes uranium metal, UF6, UF4 and uranium processing residues. It may also include uranium-contaminated materials, but only if the presence of uranium is the primary reason for its "problematic status", so for example, a "Uranium getter bed" with very high tritium levels would be excluded here as it is the tritium content that makes these a PW • Ventilation and Effluent Filters: Includes High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and activated charcoal filters and cartridge filters from active effluent processing.
