“…In some cases measures can be dependent, but by carefully combining some and/or eliminating others, a minimum distortion can be maintained. Miller 40 and Gustafson et al 1 ' advocate eliminating performance measures where substantial interactions occur. Care in defining criteria and performance measures can eliminate many problems (see, for example, Fishburn 22 ).…”

An aspect of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory's nuclear waste management R&D programs has been to develop an evaluation procedure for radioactive waste treatment processes. This report describes our process evaluation method. Process worth is expressed as a numerical index called the Figure-of-Merit (FOM), which is computed using a hierarchical, linear, additive, scoring model with constant criteria weights and nonlinear value functions. A numerical example is used to demonstrate the procedure and to point out some of its strengths and weaknesses. Potential modifications and extensions are discussed, and an extensive reference list is included.

“…Rad waste (RW) has been incinerated at nuclear sites for over 40 years. Perkins (1976) gave considerable detail about 50 RW incinerators in use by that date, worldwide. incinerators for both 1 ow-1 evel and i ntermedi ate-1 evel wastes, were described in a recent DOE publication (DOE 1979).…”

“…Power to the primary is 4.8 kW divided into three zones; power to the afterburner is 5 kW per tube and 11.4 watts/in. 2 on the flat plate heaters. Total heat input to the incinerator is 125 kW.…”

“…The maximum compressive stress on the castable is the weight of the top manifold (501 lb), the bottom manifold (520 lb), and two tubes (496 lb) divided by the 48-in. 2 area or the equivalent of three 4 x 4-in. pillars supporting them.…”

“…V 2 is used to solve for the area required to relieve 1000 ft 3 /min and yields an area of 6.557 in. 2 For the relief valve, the area for this relief flow is the circumferential area between the body and the lid and is A = 'lTdh where d equals the diameter of the taper on the relief valve body of 10.385 in. Solving this equation for h, one finds that the height that the lid will rise is 0.2 in.…”
