DOE rules out sending plutonium waste to WIPP
The DOE said on Wednesday there are no plans to ship 2.2 tons of impure plutonium waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad. The statement came after Sen. Pete Domenici criticized the possibility, while officials outlined other disposal options. The waste debate ties to Rocky Flats cleanup near Denver and plans to convert or bury waste, with final destinations not yet decided.
