DOE vows 99 percent nuclear waste cleanup at tank sites
Energy Department officials told lawmakers that 99 percent of radioactive waste in underground tanks at Hanford Idaho and Savannah River must be removed and that as little as none may be retained. The plan targets 177 tanks at Hanford and similar facilities at Savannah River and MEEL with residual sludge reclassified as low level. Separately the IAEA probes Iran’s possible nuclear cover up near Lavizan Shiyan as images show destroyed buildings and soil removal near a military facility outside Tehran.
