G
Technology Status Worksheet

This technology worksheet was used as a guide by committee members in collecting information. It was also given as an information collection guide to the technology developers.

For use as a supplement to the written presentation handout.

Use extra sheets as necessary and refer to the topic number/letter.

7.Extrapolation to an ability for destruction of chemical agents

 

 

a. Technical basis

b. Probable limits (3X, 5X)*

c. Development required to demonstrate this extrapolation

 

 

8.Areas of proposed applicability (check appropriate areas)

 

 

Feed Stream

3X

5X

-- Bulk liquid

-- Metal parts decontamination

-- Energetics

-- Dunnage

-- Wastes from other ''front end'' processes

-- Hazardous chemicals other than the chemical agents (e.g. PCBs)

9.Further tasks and time required to develop/ demonstrate prior to pilot plant level (The additional time to production level will be estimated).

10.Costs to the extent known, with emphasis on special costs such as reagents, materials of construction and waste disposal.

 

*3X: Decontamination to the extent that material can be transported as toxic waste but still must be under government control.

5X: Complete decontamination and can be released from government control.
