Abstract
This presentation includes a discussion of the research conducted at Montana Tech in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. The discussion is focused on Decontamination of Radioactively Contaminated Steel by Melt Refining/Slagging. This presentation is based on the research of Master of Science graduate students, industrial and academic colleagues, at the Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology (which morphed to Montana Tech [1977], then to Montana Tech of The University of Montana [2000], then to Montana Technological University [2019]). The referenced work of each of the graduate students in this presentation is gratefully acknowledged. The following summary presentation does not include other research studies conducted in the Metallurgical/Materials Engineering Department by other teaching and research colleagues. See Appendix A for a list of the Master of Science research thesis students and their research topics highlighting their contributions to our departments’ research efforts (student theses are readily available, on-line in digital format, at the Montana Tech Library). The referenced research was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office, Westinghouse Idaho Nuclear Company (WINCO), and Lockheed Idaho Technologies Company (LITCO) over a period of four years.
