DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7015823· OSTI ID:7015823

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) operates several hazardous waste storage and treatment units for managing the wastes generated by research programs. As required by the California Hazardous Waste Control Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), LLNL has applied for a Part B permit to continue operating their storage and waste treatment facilities. As part of this permitting process, LLNL is required to conduct a health risk assessment to examine the potential health impacts to the surrounding community from continued storage and treatment of hazardous and mixed radioactive wastes in the future. This document presents the results of the second phase of the risk assessment. An accident analysis for the maximum credible chemical accident is also included. 68 refs., 3 figs., 56 tabs.
