Project 1: Chemical Process Alternatives for Radioactive Waste

High Level Waste and Waste Processing Research

The Applied Research Center at Florida International University has been conducting research on several promising alternative processes and technologies that can be applied to address several operational shortcomings in the current high-level waste processing strategy. The implementation of advanced technologies to address challenges faced with baseline methods is of great interest to the engineers at the Hanford and Savannah River. Specifically, the use of field or in situ technologies, as well as advanced computational methods can improve several facets of the retrieval and transport processes of HLW. FIU has worked with site personnel to identify technology and process improvement needs that can benefit from FIU’s core expertise in HLW.​​
