Effort continues to determine the parameters for maximizing the operating efficiency of the off-gas systems and the venturi scrubber. Results for the month show a decrease in particulate emissions from the system. Engineering designs are being finalized for enclosures to permit the introduction of radioactive waste into the incinerator and the handling of the resultant ash. Concurrent with these improvements, the cooling system capacity will be increased to handle more heat in the off-gas as a result of continuous operation. Additional cooling capacity will also be required to protect the burning chamber enclosure. In July, a HEPA filter was installed on the final exhaust to demonstrate that premature loading of the filter would not be a problem when incinerating radioactive waste
