Atomic Scrub Benefits
Waste Reduction
Reduce the amount of legacy and new waste on-site by 90%, immediately increasing capacity
Cost Savings
Reduce the need to temporarily store and transport waste to WIPP lowering overall cost per drum
Space Preservation
Reduce the volume of waste for disposal, preserving space at WIPP and other waste disposal facilities
Environmental Impact
Lessen any associated hazards to the environment, community and workforce
1
Relevance to Program Directors
- The U.S. has ~118,000 cubic metric tons of TRU waste, the equivalent of 47 million basketballs
- Immediately increase storage capacity
- Easily report a fixed cost per drum and money saved to Congress
- Less reported waste = less risk = lives saved
- Promote the protection of the environment
2
Past Performance and Technical Approach
- Turn-key, integrated solution to reduce TRU waste on-site
- Reusable facility that can be cleaned, repositioned, or removed entirely upon mission completion
- Exceeds safety basis by reducing human exposure
- 15+ year track record of demonstrated success
3
Maturity / Scalability / Cost / Schedule
- Cleaning methods proven for decades within semiconductor industry
- Two (2) 55-gallon drums processed per day
- Can be scaled to increase volume reduction schedules
- Mobile facility can be operational within 6 months
