Hanford Site Waste Management Practices Impacting Environment Until 2046.
The Hanford Site Solid Waste Program Environmental Impact Statement looks at how the U.S. Department of Energy plans to manage solid radioactive waste at the Hanford Site until 2046. They focus on storing, treating, transporting, and disposing of different types of waste. The goal is to figure out which facilities at Hanford need to be used, changed, or built to handle these wastes safely. The types of waste they're looking at include low-level waste, mixed low-level waste with both radioactive and hazardous chemicals, low-activity waste from processing tank waste, and transuranic waste.
