r <br />Table III -1 <br />Waste Forms Associated With Explosives <br />Research and Development Operations <br />Section: III <br />Revision: 4 <br />August 1, 1995 <br />Page 2 of 32 <br />Form I <br />EXPLOSIVES REQUIRING DETONATION - Waste explosives in such a configuration that <br />LLNL requires they be treated by open detonation. This waste form includes cased <br />explosives or other explosives which may detonate during thermal treatment operations. <br />Form 2 <br />WASTE EXPLOSIVES: <br />FORM 2A: Explosive Materials and Formulations - Waste explosives powder, pastes, liquids, <br />and pieces derived from either pure materials or formulated products. Waste explosives can <br />also include explosive part which have been cast, pressed, or machined to shape. Waste <br />explosives are generated by clean-up from formulation, processing, and testing operations or <br />by removal from inventory of stored materials or items. <br />FORM 2B - Small Explosive Assemblies or Devices - Waste explosives which are cased in a <br />small assembly or device, such as a detonator. <br />Form 3 <br />WASTES FROM EXPLOSIVES COLLECTION SYSTEMS <br />Form 3A - Clarifier Waste - Explosives sludge collected from explosives processing <br />wastewater clarifier systems. <br />Form 3B - Weir System Waste - Explosives contaminated sludge mixed with other debris. <br />This waste is collected from the explosives processing wastewater weir system. <br />Form 4 <br />REACTIVE DEBRIS - Debris contaminated with energetic materials. This waste consists <br />primarily of contaminated paper, rags, and other clean-up materials from explosives <br />operations. The contamination is distributed in such a manner that the waste is judged to <br />retain explosive properties. <br />Form 5 <br />NON-REACTIVE DEBRIS - Debris slightly contaminated with energetic materials and <br />- <br />similar to Form 4 with respect to the non-reactive component. The small quantities of <br />contamination are so well dispersed that the waste does not retain explosive properties. The <br />total quantity of contamination in the debris is controlled to trace amounts (approximately <br />1% or less by weight). <br />LLNL EWSF Operation Plan <br />
