Profile

Mission

Our mission is to offer an innovative non-incineration, thermal treatment technology to customers facing the challenge of determining the best and most cost-effective disposal path for their radioactive and high organic content waste streams.

Overview

THOR Treatment Technologies LLC, was established in June 2002 as a joint venture between Studsvik, Inc. and The Washington Division of URS Corporation ).

Timeline

The THOR® process is a mature technology that has been in commercial nuclear operation since 1999, providing the foundation for its deployment throughout the US Department of Energy complex. Testing of DOE waste began in 2000 at bench-scale level with the Idaho sodium bearing waste (SBW). Its success triggered the initiation and continuation of demonstration tests with other DOE complex waste streams. Success of these demonstrations have resulted in the awards of the treatment of SBW with the THOR process, the down selection from the SRS team for the treatment of Tank 48H waste and the award of the Advanced Remediation Technologies (ARTS) Phase II work that will demonstrate successful treatment of the Hanford Low-Activity Waste (LAW) stream. Continuous operations of the SPF allows for immediate transfer of optimization and lessons learned to current and future facility designs and demonstrations.
