Low-level waste research and development program
Creators
Description
That Low-Level Waste Research and Development Program integrates work directed toward waste-management activities at ORNL with generic LLW studies and demonstration projects conducted for the DOE LLWMP. Site-specific ORNL work involves solid-waste disposal area studies of three ORNL burial grounds; vegetation management studies for burial grounds; monitoring and corrective measures analyses for inactive, intermediate-level liquid radioactive waste sites; and waste-management-related studies of local and regional geology. Generic tasks are focused on improving SLB methods and instituting corrective measures for older sites; primary emphasis is on disposal in environments with > 750 mm of annual precipitation
