Description

Department of Energy (DOE) facilities currently store and generate significant quantities of mixed wastes - materials containing both radioactive and hazardous chemical contamination. These wastes must be managed in compliance with DOE requirements and EPA Land Disposal Restrictions. To help meet these requirements for low-level mixed wastes, the DOE Office of Waste Operations has established The Mixed Waste Treatment Project (MWTP). The overall goal of the MWTP is implementation of treatment of low-level mixed wastes. (author)
