This panel focused on the latest issues surrounding the disposition of US DOE high activity mixed waste. The US DOE sites have the bulk of the inventory of 10-100nCi/g alpha mixed waste that was formerly managed as suspect TRU waste but is not eligible for WIPP disposal. Is this a problem nearing a solution? Will storage be available after 12/01/2010 until an acceptable disposal site is operational?  Which streams will still face treatment issues? These and other issues were discussed with the panelists.

Panelists included: Christine Gelles, US DOE; Frank Disanza, US DOE;  Robert Piper, Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC; James Blankenhorn, WVES; Paul Larsen, EnergySolutions; Mike Lauer, Waste Control Specialists; Renee Echols, Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. and Kathy Johns-Hughes, Los Alamos National Laboratory.
