RCRA closure experience with radioactive mixed waste in the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins at the Hanford Site

摘要

This paper provides an overview of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 closure work of the 183-H Solar Evaporation Basins, at the Hanford Site for the US Department of Energy Field Office, Richland, Washington. A description of how the hazardous wastes and radioactive wastes (mixed wastes) were treated and removed is provided, as well as presenting an overview of the sampling program used to demonstrate and document closure.
