Title: Innovative solutions to buried waste remediation
Abstract: The Buried Waste Integrated Demonstration (BWID) project was organized by the US Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Technology Development (OTD), to support innovative technologies that offer promising solutions to the problems associated with the environmental restoration of buried waste. A systems approach to technology development has been established to advance potential technological solutions for remediation of these buried wastes. This approach involves engineers and scientific expertise from throughout the DOE complex, universities, private sector, and international communities. The goal of BWID is to determine the threshold of capability for emerging technology. Technologies are identified, screened for applicability to the identified needs and requirements, selected for demonstration, and after demonstration, evaluated based on prescribed performance objectives. This approach will determine implementability, effectiveness, potential schedule reduction, and cost savings of these emerging technologies. The demonstrations help shape remediation plans for implementing a suite of emerging technologies that are integrated with commercially available base-line technologies to form a comprehensive system for the effective and efficient remediation of buried waste disposed of throughout the DOE complex.
