- Scientific Ecology Group, Inc., Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
The US Department of Energy`s Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management, through the Office of Technology Development, is performing a subsurface ground-freezing demonstration at Scientific Ecology Group facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The primary goal of the demonstration is to display a technology that can be easily installed to form an impermeable barrier. This method can be used at sites of radioactive and other hazardous contaminants to prevent migration of contaminants. This technology uses, as an underground barrier, a zone of frozen soil that can be removed at a later date, after the contamination problem is remediated.
