Where Does Stored Nuclear Waste Go?, Innovations-report
 









Excerpt: Millions of gallons of hazardous waste resulting from the nation's
nuclear weapons program lie in a remote location in southeastern Washington
state called Hanford. Beneath this desert landscape about two million curies of
radioactivity and hundreds of thousands of tons of chemicals are captured within
the stratified vadose zone below which gives rise to complex subsurface flow
paths. These paths create uncertainties about where the contaminants go and what
happens to them. With the mighty Columbia River bordering much of the site,
where these nuclear wastes migrate, their composition and how fast they are
traveling are of vital importance (...).
