Abstract

The legacy of plutonium production at the Hanford Site is millions of gallons of radioactive waste. The Department of Energy is planning to vitrify the waste for permanent disposal. The Archimedes Technology Group is developing a means of electromagnetically segregating this waste based on plasma mass separation, and Remote Systems Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is providing engineering assistance. A concept has been developed for remote maintenance featuring remotely operated overhead cranes and bridge-mounted servomanipulators.
