OSTI ID:6873095
A facility is being built at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory to reduce and package waste for 20-y retrievable storage. This waste is in the form of 488 m (1600 ft) of plutonium-contaminated glove boxes. The facility will incorporate a stainless-steel enclosure, along with remote handling equipment, to obtain an estimated 4:1 volume reduction of the waste.
