Creators

Description

The transuranic waste containers stored in the retrievable storage units at the Hanford Site are described along with a description of their environment. The containers are of various types, predominantly steel 0.21-m3 (55-gal) drums and boxes of many different sizes and materials. The storage environment is direct soil burial and storage in atmospheric conditions under plastic tarps with earth on top of the tarps. Available data from several transuranic waste storage sites are summarized and degradation rates are projected for containers in storage at the Hanford Site. 13 refs., 3 figs
