Abstract
The Underground Storage Tank - Integrated Demonstration develops uniquely state-of-the-art and advanced state-of-the-art technologies that can be applied to on-going and planned remediation of underground storage tanks at sites across the U.S. Department of Energy complex. The Underground Storage Tank - Integrated Demonstration focuses on resolution of the actions required for final closure and waste disposal of liquid (including sludge and salt cake) radioactive and chemical wastes that have been transferred to the underground storage tanks. The demonstration is necessary to enable a final decision on disposal of underground tank wastes, soils, groundwater, and ancillary equipment. The eventual objective is to transfer new technologies as a system to full-scale remediation at the U.S. Department of Energy complexes and sites in the private sector.
