Waste Management Symposium - MSE Presentation and DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory:

(Under Select a Day - Choose Monday): http://www.wmsym.org/app/Program/wm_program.cfm?ID=wm2013a

SESSION 010: Integrating Sustainability Principles into Site Closure and Reuse - Room 106B 10:00AM - 12:00PM

DOE presents their vision of the future by cleaning up the past "Oak Ridge Cleanup Vision: Moving to the Future by Cleaning Up the Past".

SESSION 011: Technical Innovations in ER and Site Closure (Part 1 of 2) - Room 106C 10:00AM - 12:00PM

At the same time in the room next door, MSE gives their presentation "Strategies for Treating and Dewatering Contaminated Soils and Sediments Simultaneously".

SESSION 026: Technical Innovations in ER and Site Closure (Part 2 of 2)Room 106C 1:30PM - 3:10PM

This is a continuation of the session where MSE did their presentation. The DOE and it's major contractors at the Oak Ridge site finish up this education track with "An Exploration of Mercury Soils Treatment Technologies for the Y-12 Plant".

I don't believe it's just a coincidence that MSE presented their work in Part 1 of 2 and then the DOE/ORNL contractors finished up with their portion in Part 2 of 2. I'd say MSE was given center stage and there are good things in the works here folks! Don't make your investment decisions based on anything I say. My comments are just my opinions.

Current DOE Mercury Remediation Estimate at Y-12 ALONE

There was a recent Battelle International Conference in Texas that most people know about. The conference is specific in its purpose of "addressing the maintenance of the economic and biological viability of the environments of rivers, lakes, bays, and harbors which require management of a complex series of actions related to accumulation in sediments of potentially hazardous contaminants." The Sediments Conference is a forum for sharing experience and progress toward this goal.

There was one particular presentation that was done by The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Richland Washington) which is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) government research laboratory. This comes from part of their presentation:

"The project is complex, technically challenging, and expensive, with a current estimated cost of $1B for mercury remediation at the Y-12 Complex alone."

"Innovative methods are required to identify and control contaminant fate and transport pathways."

"Treatment technologies are being developed that will reduce the concentration and flux of mercury from subsurface flow paths within the industrial complex to surface water."

Sounds like the MBS/M2 Polymer combined technology could be part of the equation for success at Y-12.
