The application of microwave energy for in-container solidification of simulated transuranic con-taminated precipitation sludges has been tested. Tests have found that volume reductions of 80% are achievable by the continuous feeding of pre-dried sludge into a waste container while applying microwave energy. An economic evaluation was completed showing that volume and weight reductions of up to 87% are achievable over an immobilization process currently in use on wet sludge.
