Macroencapsulation of Large Objects

To demonstrate this capabihty, Wagh et al. group worked with Bechtel Jacobs Co., the contractor at Oak Ridge, and conducted a feasibility study. The smdy comprised macroencapsulation of internally contaminated pipe sections [23]. 

Two cast iron pipe sections (Schedule 40, carbon steel), 4.5 in. (11 cm) diameter and 7 in. (18 cm) long, were used. Both ends of the pipes were sealed by welding cast iron round plates on them. They were contaminated internally with one of the debris wastes described in Section 17.5.1.
