Last TRU Waste Drum Venting Concludes at Savannah River Site
The Savannah River Site reports the venting of the last legacy transuranic drum ending a safety concern tied to hydrogen flammability. Since 1996 WSRC vents have enabled nearly 16,000 drums to be safely released for shipment to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico, with almost 28,000 drums shipped overall. The legacy waste program aims to finish next year.
