2D601 - Prototype Fast Reactor Decommissioning Wastes
Waste arises from the decommissioning of a facility that was used to manufacture MOX fuel assemblies for use in PFR Reactor. Facility was operational until 1992 and is awaiting decommissioning. The facility has also been used to store PCM drums. Facility consists of five key areas which are: Containment area, Pellet load and vibro-encapsulation suite, Active Canning line, Final assembly and can preparation and the ventilation system.

2D74 - Pile Fuel Storage Pond Ion Exchange Material
The waste is a cartridge 580mm diameter 993mm in height containing the ion exchange medium Ionsiv IE-911 (165kg). This becomes radioactive by removing predominately Cs and Sr from the pond water. The cartridge was designed to fit into a 250 litre liner for waste export from the plant in the 12te flask.

2D74/C - Conditioned Pile Fuel Storage Pond Ion Exchange Material
The waste is a cartridge 580mm diameter 993mm in height containing the ion exchange medium Ionsiv IE-911 (165kg). This becomes radioactive by removing predominately Cs and Sr from the pond water. The cartridge was designed to fit into a 250 litre liner for waste export from the plant in the 12te flask.One of the fourteen packages in stock is a dummy and has no associated inventory.

2D76/C - Encapsulated Retrieved Pond Sludge
The degradation of Magnox fuel during pond storage results in the generation of magnesium hydroxide sludge in the pond. Sludge retrieved from the pond for encapsulation.
