Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) five-year Site Specific Plan
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), located 26 miles east of Carlsbad, New Mexico, is a research and development facility vested with the vital mission of demonstrating the safe disposal of radioactive transuranic (TRU) wastes resulting from our nation's defense activities and programs. It is the only facility in the United States specifically designed and constructed for the long-term storage of transuranic wastes. Since the inception of the WIPP project, work has continued to prepare the facility to receive TRU waste. A multitude of studies have been and continue to be conducted to demonstrate the safety of the WIPP facility in accordance with federal and state laws, state agreements, DOE Orders, etc. This Site Specific Plan outlines the implementation of activities at the WIPP project. 12 figs.
