Low-Level Rad Waste to be Shipped by Road After Railcar Fire

摘要

A batch of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) will complete its journey to disposal by truck after a fire near Chicago earlier this month on a railcar being used to transport it to Texas. “The transloaded waste is being re-profiled to be shipped by truck,” a spokesperson for Veolia subsidiary Alaron Nuclear Services, which generated the material, said by email on June 26. “We are working with various commercial waste disposal sites as to the best option for disposal.”
