Title: Assessment of remote sensing technologies to discover and characterize waste sites

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/151319· OSTI ID:151319

This report presents details about waste management practices that are being developed using remote sensing techniques to characterize DOE waste sites. Once the sites and problems have been located and characterized and an achievable restoration and remediation program have been established, efforts to reclaim the environment will begin. Special problems to be considered are: concentrated waste forms in tanks and pits; soil and ground water contamination; ground safety hazards for workers; and requirement for long-term monitoring.
