	Radioactive waste - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Radioactive waste is waste material containing radioactive chemical elements that does not have a practical purpose.
		Waste can also be generated from the processing of fuel for nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons.
		High-level radioactive waste is stored temporarily in and in dry cask storage facilities.

	Encyclopedia: Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Waste is placed in rooms 2,150 feet (655 m) underground that have been excavated from a 2,000 foot (600 m) thick salt formation that has been stable for more than 200 million years.
		Waste that is to be stored at the location must meet certain specified criteria.
		WIPP is unsuited for high level radioactive waste as its high heat attracts water which would lead to rapid corrosion of the waste packages, and the dissolution of the waste into the salty water.

	Radioactive waste - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		High-level radioactive waste is stored temporarily in spent fuel pools and in dry cask storage facilities.
		In Germany, there is a political discussion about the search for an Endlager (final repository) for radioactive waste, accompanied by loud protests especially in the Gorleben village in the Wendland area, which was seen ideal for the final repository until 1990 because its location next to the border to the former GDR.
		While radioactive waste is not as sensitive to disruption as an active nuclear reactor, it is often treated as regular waste and forgotten.

	Waste Minimization in Metal Parts Cleaning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Sources of Information on Waste Minimization "The Congress hereby declares it to be the national policy of the United States that, whenever feasible, the generation of hazardous waste is to be reduced or eliminated as expeditiously as possible." HSWA 1984.
		Waste minimization can be accomplished either through source reduction or recycling of hazardous wastes that are generated or subsequently treated, disposed of, or stored (Figure 1).
		The reduction of waste toxicity by dilution, or of waste volume by dewatering (or more generally, by the removal of an inert innocuous component) are not considered alone and by themselves to be viable waste minimization options.

	EIS-0203F; DOE Programmatic Spent Nuclear Fuel Management and INEL Environmental Restoration and Waste Management ...
		Wastes characterized and repackaged at the Waste Characterization Facility would be transferred to the Waste Storage Facility for permitted storage until the waste can be disposed of at either a geologic repository such as the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, as low-level waste at another disposal facility, or until appropriate treatment can be performed.
		Onsite transuranic waste shipments are expected to be dominated by a baseline activity (shipments between the INEL Radioactive Waste Management Complex and Argonne National Laboratory-West as part of the characterization and certification program required for shipments of INEL transuranic waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant).
		Because the estimated number of onsite transuranic waste shipments is expected to be approximately the same for all EIS alternatives, the annual frequency and consequence of the maximum reasonably foreseeable accident are not affected by foreseeable projects.

		Committee on the Characterization of Remote-Handled Transuranic Waste for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
		Newly generated waste is waste that is produced after the approval of a characterization plan and meets the characterization requirements set forth by the regulatory agencies.
		Transuranic waste is classified as remote-handled or contact-handled waste, according to the radiation dose rate at the surface of the package.

		The pilot plant features equipment for pretreating biomass feedstocks, and several large-scale 9000 L (2377 gal) fermenters for producing cellulose and converting cellulose and xylose to ethanol.
		Waste management program activities are designed to protect INEL employees, the public, and the environment through the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of treatment, storage, and disposal facilities for hazardous, transuranic, alpha contaminated, mixed, high level waste and spent nuclear fuel from military, research, and commercial sources.
		Contract-handled mixed waste is stored in the Radioactive Sodium Storage Facility (sodium-contaminated), and remote-handled mixed waste is stored at the Radioactive Scrap and Waste Facility.

	Hot Demonstrations of Nuclear-Waste Processing Technologies
		One of the largest waste management problems in the DOE complex is the disposition of the tens of thousands of cubic meters of plutonium-contaminated waste that was generated during operation of the nuclear weapons production facilities.
		Waste retention is normally considered in terms of resistance to leaching by groundwater and is evaluated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP).
		Waste metals are introduced to the slurry complex to varying degrees to form mineral analogs, which become components of the matrix or encapsulated components within the matrix.

	Characterization of Remote-Handled Transuranic Waste for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant--Final Report: Final Report -- ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Remote-handled TRU waste presents a long-term (i.e., 10,000 years) radiological hazard associated with TRU radionuclides (related to the presence of long-lived alpha-emitting isotopes) and a short-term (less than 300 years) radiological hazard associated with short-lived gamma-emitting radionuclides (related to the presence of fission and activation products).
		Contact-handled TRU waste is characterized according to a plan that was negotiated for almost two decades among DOE and the regulators prior to the certification of the WIPP facility.
		Transuranic waste is classified as remote-handled or contact-handled depending on the radiation dose rate at the surface of the package.

	Stored Waste Examination Pilot Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stored Waste Examination Pilot Plant (SWEPP) is a facility at the Idaho National Laboratory for nondestructively examining containers of radioactive waste to determine if they meet criteria to be stored at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
		SWEPP is part of the Radioactive Waste Management Complex, located southwest of EBR-I.

	Planning for DOE Transuranic Waste Shipments
		This waste was generated by nuclear weapons research at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and was shipped to the NTS for temporary storage.
		Transuranic waste is officially defined as waste contaminated with alpha-emitting radionuclides, having atomic numbers greater than 92 and with half-lives greater than 20 years in concentrations greater than 100 nanocuries per gram of waste.
		All of the CH TRU waste currently being stored at NTS was generated by nuclear weapons research, testing, and development activities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and was shipped to NTS between 1974 and 1990.

		The U.S. Department of Energy wants to begin accepting hotter radioactive waste at its underground dump near Carlsbad, to change the way it analyzes the waste and to use new transportation containers.
		DOE is asking the New Mexico Environment Department to approve several permit changes in order to improve operations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and at the sites that generate the waste.
		Perhaps the most significant would allow waste so radioactive it must be handled by robotic machines and transported in shielded casks to be stored at WIPP.
