Elimination or reduction of magnesium oxide as the engineered barrier at the waste isolation pilot plant

Description
The EPA certification requires the DOE to emplace MgO adjacent to each contact handled (CH) TRU waste container for a total of 85,600 tons of magnesium oxide. Shortly after certification and prior to receiving any waste, the DOE Carlsbad Area Office (DOE/CAO) expressed a desire to reduce or eliminate the use of magnesium oxide. Elimination or reduction in the amount of MgO reopens a litany of concerns raised during the certification process
