Systems Engineering Review and Design for a Small Research Laboratory Low-Level Radwaste Processing System

Abstract

The U. S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command (AMCCOM) at Rock Island, Illinois currently administers the radioactive waste disposal program for the entire U. S. Army by 'directing the packaging, transportation and ultimate burial of unwanted radioactive material' at commercial waste disposal requests from any Army element by providing assistance in packaging, shipping and burial container certifications. The Safety Office provides detailed instruction to the requesting agency on: how to package the low-level waste, the proper shipping instruction and how to complete the certification documents for container burial at a commercial site.
