Characterization of wastes in and around early reactors at the Hanford Site: The use of historical research.

摘要

This paper will present the waste characterization knowledge that has been gained in the first, ''Large-Scale Remediation Study'' to be performed on the reactor areas (100 Areas) of the Hanford Site. Undertaken throughout the past year, this research project has identified thousands of pieces of buried hardware, as well as the volumes of liquid wastes in burial sites in the reactor areas. The author of this landmark study, Dr. Michele Gerber, will discuss historical research as a safe and cost-effective characterization tool.
