Disposal concepts for waste in underground single-shell storage tanks at the Hanford Site

The Hanford Site is preparing for the future remediation of single-shell underground storage tanks. A significant portion of that task is the disposal of radioactive and hazardous components of the wastes that are in the tanks, the tanks themselves, and any residual contamination (e.g., soil) resulting from tank operations. This report discusses disposal concepts being studied for application on waste stored in the single-shell tanks.

Abstract

The Hanford Site is preparing for the future remediation of single-shell underground storage tanks. A significant portion of that task is the disposal of radioactive and hazardous components of the wastes that are in the tanks, the tanks themselves, and any residual contamination (e.g., soil) resulting from tank operations. This report discusses disposal concepts being studied for application on waste stored in the single-shell tanks.
