1994 TfflOKOL CORPORATION TREATABILITY STUDY REPORT
1.0 NAME ADDRESS AND EPA NUMBER OF FACILITY CONDUCTING STUDY.
Thiokol Corporation UTD009081357
P.O. BOX 689, BRIGHAM CITY, UTAH 84302-0689
2.0 NUMBER AND TYPES OF STUDIES CONDUCTED IN 1994
One study was conducted. This was a Propellant Demil smdy related to the T-93 RD&D
permit. Reference Treatability Smdy Notification letters sent to UDEQ August 10, 1993,
V300-FY94-L014 and V300-FY94-L092 dated Febmary 15, 1994. (The latter letter
specifically references the cryogenic washout study). This smdy involved testing
propellant in a cutting processes using liquid nitrogen. Propellant was placed in a fixmre
and slices were cut off using a liquid nitrogen knife. When the cutting was completed
the D003 hazard still remained. Propellant Material was collected and sent to M-136 for
open buming.
3.0 NAME, ADDRESS, AND EPA NUMBER FOR PERSONS FOR WHOM STUDY
IS BEING CONDUCED.
Same as above (Thiokol Corporation UTD009081357)
4.0 TOTAL QUANTITY IN STORAGE EACH DAY
In most cases a small amount of propellant, specifically produced for the tests, was taken
to the T-93 test facility each day testing was to be done. The entire amount of propellant
was typically cut up in the testing and removed the following day or removed the same
day and replaced with a new sample. Attached is the treatability study log sheet showing
the amounts of propellant stored each day.
5.0 WHEN STUDY WAS CONDUCTED
July 7, 1994 - December 15, 1994
6.0 FINAL DISPOSITION OF MATERIAL TREATED AND LEFTOVER SAMPLE
The material was sent to the Thiokol M-136 Buming Grounds for final disposal and
treatment for the D003 hazard.
%
7.0 TREATABILITY STUDIES TO BE CONDUCTED IN 1995
A study to be conducted at M-705 involves testing a new technique for neutralizing
energetic materials (propellants are macerated to remove reactive components). The
notification of this smdy was sent to UDEQ on the 5 of April 1995, V300-FY95-L110.
The amount of waste to be used in this smdy will be < 1,000 Kg.
