Abstract

Transuranic (TRU) and low-level drum waste disposal involves decisions based on transportation restrictions, conditions for acceptance, and federal and state regulations. To support the decisions made concerning final disposition of these wastes, characterization protocols must be established to help define the environmental impact. One promising screening technique involves applying near infrared (IR) Fourier Transform Raman (FT- Raman) spectroscopy using remote fiber optic probes for identifying unknown salts, sludges, and solids in wastes. It is proposed that FT-Raman spectroscopy be used in conjunction with real-time radiography and visual documentation. Developing an extensive solid waste library is a key element in the deployment of this technology in the process environment of solid waste drums. The feasibility for such library generation is also demonstrated.
