The department is sponsoring research and development (R&D) work on four alternative processes and plans to use the results to make a downselection decision in a June 2001 time frame. The DOE requested that the National Research Council help inform this decision by addressing the following charge: 1. evaluate the adequacy of the criteria that will be used by the department to select from among the candidate processes under consideration; 2. evaluate the progress and results of the research and development work that is being undertaken on these candidate processes; and 3. assess whether the technical uncertainties have been sufficiently resolved to proceed with downsizing the list of candidate processes. Responses to the last two points are provided in this report. Research and Development on a Salt Processing Alternative for High-Level Waste at the Savannah River Site focuses exclusively on the technical issues related to the candidate processes for radionuclide removal from high-level waste salt solutions at SRS. The committee's interim report served as a response to the first point of this charge, and may be read in Appendix B. In that report, the committee found that DOE's proposed criteria are an acceptable basis for selecting among the candidate processes under consideration, but that the criteria should not be implemented in a way that relies on a single numerical "total score." 410 0$aCompass series (Washington, D.C.) 606 $aRadioactive waste disposal$zSouth Carolina 606 $aSalts 615 0$aRadioactive waste disposal 615 0$aSalts. 676 $a621.48 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Radionuclide Separation Processes for High-Level Waste at the Savannah River Site. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958370803321 996 $aResearch and development on a salt processing alternative for high-level waste at the Savannah River Site$94369127 997 $aUNINA
