Proposed plan for the United Nuclear Corporation Disposal Site at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant, Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5534929
The purpose of this document is to present and solicit for comment to the public and all interested parties the plan to remediate the United Nuclear Corporation (UNC) Disposal Site located at the Department of Energy-Oak Ridge Operations (DOE-ORO) Y-12 Plant, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The preferred alternative for remediating the UNC Disposal Site is construction of a modified Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) cap. A modified RCRA cap provides the best balance between long-term effectiveness and permanence, reduction of toxicity, mobility, or volume and short-term effectiveness among the alternatives. The cap provides a high degree of protection for human health and environment, complies with applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), and is easily implemented and cost effective.
