Closure for depleted uranium thorium waste pond

Aerojet Ordinance Tennessee Inc. (AOT), completed the closure of an inactive waste evaporation pond at its Jonesboro, Tennessee, facility in September 1985. The final closure activities of the comprehensive action program for decommissioning the process waste pond, excavation of associated contaminated soils, and on-site disposal of the contaminated soil are described. Rogers and Associates (RAE) developed remedial action guides for the project and the final designs, and managed the remedial action with the assistance of Dames and Moore. The project represents one of the first actions of this type by a private company. The closure program was performed under licensing by the State of Tennessee
