In the Spotlight
WRACS (Waste Receipt, Assay, Characterisation and Supercompaction)
Approximately 100,000 cubic metres of solid low level waste (LLW) is expected to arise during the environmental restoration of the Dounreay site. Managing this waste effectively is a key part of the site restoration programme.
The key focus is the WRACS facility, which x-rays drums of solid LLW, assesses the activity content, compacts them to about a fifth of their size and then loads them into containers for temporary storage.
