SRS Details To Prove Environmental Worth And Cleanup
The SRS project outlines a 1 percent processing facility for radioactive waste and Saltstone to treat nine million gallons annually converting waste to concrete for vault storage. DWPF will vitrify high level waste into glass, with construction ending and operation planned around 1992, followed by long term containment in underground vaults awaiting a federal disposal site, likely Yucca Mountain. The report highlights nonradioactive cleanup at M Area, including an air strip and groundwater treatment, and notes broader environmental costs alongside economic growth since Earth Day 1970.
