- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Albuquerque, NM, and Livermore, CA (United States)
Soil from an excavated test was being surveyed and fresh DU fragments removed so the soil could be returned to the excavation hole. Sandia RCTs discovered two locations where highly oxidized DU was present just below the undisturbed lake bed surface. The oxidized DU was removed for disposal as radioactive waste. Approximately one cubic foot of oxidized DU mixed with soil was removed. Line Manager, Sr. Manager and Acting Director were all notified of this event.
