Glass furnance project: April - September 1981
Abstract
The use of a joule-heated glass furnace, fitted with a Mound-developed offgas system, to reduce the volume of contaminated waste typical of that from nuclear power plants. Preparations, including completion of the offgas scrubbing system and installation of utilities were made for the receipt of the glass melter at Mound. The melter was delivered on September 22, 1981, and assembly and consolidation of the entire system immediately began. Preliminary work was initiated on procedural development, and an interface was established with the Mound glass ceramics laboratory to pinpoint areas requiring study.
