The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment Plant in Washington aims to treat 50 million gallons of mixed waste by turning it into glass for safe disposal. The waste will be separated into low- and high-activity fractions, with the low-activity waste going to a facility at Hanford and the high-activity waste to a national repository. Both waste forms must meet strict requirements to protect the environment.
