A program is in place to treat the wastes in order to reduce volumes prior to emplacement in storage. This involves segregation of the wastes at source, incineration, compaction and shredding/baling. Research is presently underway to convert the incineration from a batch to a continuous process. Research is also being undertaken to assess the use of "super compactors" for increased volume reduction. 4, record 1, English, - volume%20reduction
