Abstract
Exerimental studies are described to quantify high temperature chemica l aspects of waste disposal and environmental clean-up. Two main facil ities are considered: Osprey: to characterize high temperature vapors, Harrier: to quantify the treatment of radioactive waste in a molten m etal environment These facilities are supported by matrix isolation-in frared spectroscopy, thermal analysis (DTA/TG/EGA) and thermodynamic a nd kinetic modeling. Examples of treatment of various radioactive wast e streams are described.
