Abstract
Following a seven year process development effort, a production scale Fluidized Bed Incinerator was constructed at the Rocky Flats Plant and an emission permit obtained. The incinerator was inactive for several years and is presently being upgraded and tested in preparation for a trial burn for combustion of liquid and solid hazardous radioactive mixed waste. A description of equipment modifications and instrumentation addition necessary for permitting as a mixed waste incinerator are discussed. The trial burn plan was submitted to the regulatory authorities and has been reviewed by the public. Questions, comments, and concerns generated by the regulatory authorities, a technical review panel, and the general public are discussed in this paper. 1 fig., 3 tabs.
