A small scale melter (known as Mini Melter) was designed, fabricated and operated in 786-A (now Engineering Development Laboratory - EDL), starting in year 2000. The Mini Melter test program was conducted to support Defense Waste Processing Facility production of glass canisters. The Mini Melter operated for a few years and for the past seven or eight years, it has been shut down. Now the ECPT management has decided to remove and dispose it from EDL.
