This panel focused on the treatment of nitrate salt TRU waste drums currently stored at Los Alamos National Laboratory, including those in which a thermally sensitive mixture was created from the use of an organic absorbent during previous remediation operations. Technical, regulatory, and programmatic aspects of this challenging campaign were described. The session also provided a high-level discussion of activities of the recently constituted DOE Environmental Management Los Alamos office responsible for managing legacy environmental cleanup at LANL.
