Notice of Availability of Remote-Handled Transuranic Waste Study

Today's notice is announcing the availability of the Remote- Handled Transuranic Waste Study. The study was prepared by the Department in fulfillment of a congressional mandate specified in Public Law 102-579, referred to as the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal Act. In addition, the Department considers the preparation of the study to be a prudent element in the compliance certification process for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The study includes an analysis of the impact of remote-handled Transuranic waste on the performance assessment of the WIPP and a comparison of remote-handled Transuranic waste with contact-handled Transuranic waste on issues of gas generation, flammability, explosiveness, solubility, and brine and geochemical interactions.
