TITLE A METHOD OF REDUCING THE VOLUME OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE INVENTORS Leo Patrick Buckley Kenneth Anton Burrill Conrad David Desjardins Robert Steven Salter ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Combustible, radioactive waste, such as paper, plastics, rub- ber, cloth and wood, are reduced in volume to an ash residue using pyro- hydrolysis, a method which combines pyrolysis of the waste in a vessel at temperatures in the range of 500 to 700°C and gasification of residual carbon with superheated steam. Pressures of 1.0 to 3.5 MPa are used with steam flows in the range 4 to 50 mL/s/m3 so that carbon containing com- ponents of the waste are removed as gaseous oxides.
