If the AJT Process has only been used for a one time Demonstration Project, how do you know that it will work on a continuous basis, processing large quantities of material?
The vitrification process has been used successfully in the nuclear industry to melt large quantities of radioactive material so that it can be poured into stainless steel containers for later storage. There is a modern arc vitrification facility that does this, located at the Savannah River Site operated by the US Department of Energy. The plant is called the Defense Waste Processing Facility. In effect, this facility does essentially the same function as a large plant using the AJT Process. However, the DOE plant has many more complications to deal with because of the radioactive material factor. The AJT Process is much simpler but does have the same basic functions as the DOE plant. The successful operating DOE plant proves that a simpler, large AJT Processing Plant is feasible and practical.
