Abstract: | |
The US Ecology facilities at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, include the Nuclear Materials Management Center (NMMC). The NMMC has the capability to decontaminate metals contaminated by radioactive materials. Industrial equipment such as pumps, valves, fuel racks, steam generators, condensers, and heat exchangers can be cleaned and returned to service.
A survey-for-release program and a supercompaction program that maximizes compaction and allows the most efficient use of storage space and burial volume is also offered. The NMMC also rents and decontaminates scaffolding and lead blankets, and provides waste containers.
In addition to handling contaminated materials at its Oak Ridge site, the NMMC sends trained staff to customer' business locations to package and transport small quantities of low-level radioactive waste. After safely packaging the waste on site, USE personnel either ship or arranges licensed shipment to commercial low-level disposal facilities.
