A production facility to solidify radiation liquid wastes is being built at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant. The facility will use fluidized-bed technology and in-bed combustion to convert 11400 ℓ/day (net) of radioactive wastes from the liquid to the solid form. This solidification process makes the wastes easier and safer to handle and store, reduces the volume by a factor of ten, and places this waste in a form suitable for long-term or permanent storage.
