Description

Dwayne E. Weigel (au). As the Cold War drew to a close, the Dept. of Energy (DoE) shifted its focus from producing nuclear weapons to cleaning up the contaminated facilities where it had produced them. Over the next several decades, DoE expects to dispose of about 2.1 mill. cubic meters of low-level & mixed wastes where it operates disposal facilities. Concerned that DoE may not be managing & disposing of its wastes as cost-effectively as possible, this report reviews (1) the factors that influence DoE’s decisions about the treat., storage, & disposal of wastes, & (2) DoE’s costs to treat, store, & dispose of these wastes & the cost-effectiveness of DoE’s disposal decisions.
