New Savannah River Plant DWPF to Encapsulate Waste in Glass
In 1992 the Defense Waste Processing Facility at the Savannah River Plant will operate around the clock for 13 to 14 years to solidify about 32 million gallons of dangerous liquid waste into glass cylinders. The $920 million project aims to permanently seal defense waste, with interim storage at SRP and eventual transfer to a Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada. The process will reduce environmental spread, though the waste remains highly radioactive and shielded. Cylinders will be moved to Yucca Mountain once it opens, with dry shielded vaults protecting them from earthquakes and tornadoes.
