Protective barrier development: Overview

Creators

  • 1. Westinghouse Hanford Co., Richland, WA (USA)
  • 2. Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (USA)

Description

Protective barrier and warning marker systems are being developed to isolate certain types of waste disposed of near the earth's surface at the Hanford Site. The current focus of development efforts is to design a protective barrier(s) that will function in an arid to semiarid climate, limit the infiltration and percolation of water through the waste zone to near-zero amounts, be maintenance free, and last up to 10,000 years. 1 ref., 3 figs
