Grouting Hanford’s low-level radioactive liquid tank waste could cost between $480 million and $1.1 billion, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office, which has repeatedly found that grouting (immobilizing waste in a concrete-like mixture) can accelerate cleanup at the Hanford Site and save billions of dollars when compared to mixing the waste with molten glass through the vitrification process.

Microreactors will be utilizing new modeling and simulation tools that are based on multi physics and these tools will need to be utilized for both design and operational support. We'll be discussing on this panel about how these new generation light-weight systems should be developed and what kinds of business-model innovation will be needed to be able to support the next wave of micro reactors.
