This report provides information and discussion on planning, methodologies and technologies for retrieval and reconditioning of radioactive wastes recovered from old, inadequate disposal or storage facilities. The objective of such projects is to improve waste safety and security in accordance with modern requirements. Selected international experiences in waste retrieval and recovery projects are included. The report serves as a guide for storage and disposal facility personnel responsible for the organization and implementation of waste retrieval and reconditioning projects to optimize planning, selection and use of available and applicable technologies and resources.--Publisher's description.

General design criteria and descriptions of the Waste Solidification Engineering Prototypes equipment are discussed. The WSEP is a developmental facility for solidifying highly radioactive liquid wastes from reprocessing of power reactor fuels by the pot, spray, and phosphate glass processes. Design criteria are based upon providing a developmental facility with a high degree of flexibility and integrity for demonstrations of various waste solidification processes and equipment with fully radioactive materials. Special features of the equipment for process and mechanical functions to be performed during the demonstrations are presented. Process functions include overall flowsheet requirements, process control features, process effluent treatment and control, and special features of process equipment. Mechanical functions include remote handling and transfer of material and equipment, and storage and testing of containers full of soldified waste. Equipment performance during nonradioactive shakedown tests, and the process safety review are summarized. Equipment performance has been good, and the first radioactive run was made in the WSEP in November 1966.
