Abstract
Until fairly recently, there were really only two nuclear waste forms:
-
Solid waste, which was by definition what went into a burial ground even if the waste happened to be mostly liquids, and
-
Liquid waste, which was by definition what went into a waste tank even if the waste happened to be mostly solids.
The information contained in this article was developed during the course of work under Contract No. DE-AC09-76SR00001 with the U.S. Department of Energy.
