DOE使用新方法处理和装运2 000加仑放射性废物,推进Hanford的清理工作。 DOE treats and ships 2,000 gallons of radioactive waste using a new method, advancing Hanford cleanup.

美国能源部成功处理并运送了2 000加仑低活性放射性废料, The U.S. Department of Energy successfully treated and shipped 2,000 gallons of low-activity radioactive waste from Hanford, Washington, using a new grouting procedure. 这种方法是试验床倡议第二阶段的一部分,将较少的放射性废物与较高级废物分离,有可能节省数十亿美元,并加速清理167个储罐。 This method, part of the Test Bed Initiative Phase II, separates less radioactive waste from higher-level waste, potentially saving billions and speeding up the cleanup of 167 storage tanks. 泥浆废物被运往犹他州和得克萨斯州经批准的设施。 The grouted waste was shipped to approved facilities in Utah and Texas.
