A description is given of incinerator installations in the US and in foreign countries. Included are descriptions of inactive incinerators, incinerator facilities currently in operation, and incinerator installations under construction. Special features of eech installation and operational problems of each facility are emphasized. Problems in the incineration of radioactive waste are discussed in relation to the composition of the waste and the amount and type of radioactive contaminant. a L CYCLONE 2.

This report describes disposal of liquids and, in some cases, suitable solids and/or entrapped gases, through (1) well injection into deep permeable strata, bounded by impermeable layers, (2) grout injection into an impermeable host rock, forming fractures in which the waste solidifies, and (3) slurrying into excavated subsurface cavities. Radioactive materials are presently being disposed of worldwide using all three techniques. However, it would appear that if the techniques were verified as posing minimum hazards to the environment and suitable site-specific host rock were identified, these disposal techniques could be more widely used. • M.
