Abstract
Radioactive waste can be treated by thermal treatment, resulting in a robust end waste form with a high volume reduction factor (VRF). Not only is the VRF of importance but also the growing requirements for improved quality of the final waste form. Virtually all waste streams can be treated by the described treatment technologies, resulting in a conditioned product free from organics and liquids, and meeting without doubt the acceptance criteria for safe storage and disposal. In this chapter the most commonly used thermal treatment, namely incineration, and the emerging plasma technology are handled, each illustrated with an existing industrial operation facility.
