Low-level radioactive waste disposal
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5349766
Discussed are the generation and disposal of low-level radioactive wastes (LLW) in Arkansas. Nationally, approximately 100,000 cubic meters of LLW (excluding military) are generated each year as by-products of research, electrical power generation, diagnostic medicine, or industry. Annually, 236 cubic meters of LLW is generated in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas' Fayetteville and Medical Sciences campuses, the Timex Corporation, and Veteran's Administration Hospital, and AP and L's Nuclear I,II. There are only three disposal sites for commercial LLW: Barnwell, South Carolina; Beatty, Nevada; and Hanford, Washington. Predictions are that by mid 1980s these sites will reach their existing capacities. With the escalation of disposal costs plus the lack of disposal sites within the near future, Arkansas will be forced to plan for alternative disposal sites and/or methods.
