Design and operation of a low-level solid-waste disposal site at Los Alamos
Abstract
Approximately 185000 cu m of low level and transuranic radioactive solid waste, were disposed of by onsite shallow land burial. Procedures and facilities were designed and evaluated in the areas of waste acceptance, treatment and storage, disposal, traffic control, and support systems. The methodologies assuring the proper management and disposal of radioactive solid waste are summarized.
