Problematic Radioactive WastesPerma-Fix’s mission is to address problematic waste streams that exist at government and commercial sites around the world. By providing solutions to waste challenges, Perma-Fix is a “Partner in Progress” for clean up.Problematic radioactive wastes pose challenges due to:• Problems for treatment
– Safety issues at treatment facility– Characterization information lacking– Multiple treatment steps/systems needed to meet LDR/disposal WAC
• Problems for access– Tanks – difficult to retrieve (hardened material, confined space)– Vessels/cylinders (pressurized)– Gloveboxes (high activity, layered shielding)
• Problems for transportation– Dose rate limitations, road closures– No available DOT/DOE approved packaging– International regulations– Concern transporting liquids
