Unconfined underground radioactive waste and contamination in the 200 areas
Abstract
Present knowledge about locations in the 200 Areas at Hanford, Wash. where radioactive wastes have been discharged to the ground is documented. The primary intent is to prevent future use of these sites for other purposes without knowledge of the existing contamination problem, not to determine whether the waste could contaminate the ground water. The Redox particle problem during 1954 has been omitted except where the concentration was sufficient to warrant posting the area as a radiation zone. Also, only those disposal sites within tank farms that were planned and scheduled have been included as the entire tank farm is now considered as having sufficient underground contamination to require monitoring for any excavating.
