The Hanford Site in Eastern Washington currently has in storage a large percentage of the total volume of radioactive defense waste in the United States. Facilities presently operating and those planned in the future produce high-level and transuranic wastes that will require final disposal. Waste compositions vary widely because of the many diverse processes operated at Hanford since the early 1940's. Progress toward resolution of disposal actions is necessary to demonstrate responsible management of the production and waste management missions at the Hanford Site. An Environmental Impact Statement is currently being prepared providing comparison of the reference approach with the other alternatives. Whatever course of action is selected, significant material handling will be involved as the waste is prepared for disposal.
