Abstract: The TRUEX solvent extraction process can remove, separate, and concentrate transuranic (TRU) elements from high-level and TRU-containing waste streams. By lowering the TRU content of these wastes to <100 nCi/g, the large fraction of the waste becomes nonTRU and, therefore, a candidate for near-surface disposal. The Generic TRUEX Model has been developed to (1) act as a tool for designing TRUEX process flowsheets for specific waste stream compositions, process constraints, and process goals, (2) estimate the space and cost requirements for installing a TRUEX process, and (3) act as a guide to process monitoring and control. This report is an operations manual for running the Generic TRUEX Model on a Macintosh computer. It also summarizes the salient features of the TRUEX process and the capabilities of the Generic TRUEX Model. 7 refs., 87 figs., 3 tabs.
