Hanford Board Supports Vitrification Of Radioactive Tank Waste

摘要

The Hanford Advisory Board -a non-partisan representative body charged with monitoring and advising on cleanup of the Hanford nuclear reservation in Washington - is supporting vitrification of all of the radioactive tank waste at the Hanford nuclear reservation. The Department of Energy (DOE) reported in April that it wanted to look at alternate technologies for treating low-activity radioactive waste from production of weapons plutonium held in 169 underground tanks at Hanford.
