GAO: Grouting Hanford tank waste could cost more than $1.1B

Grouting Hanford’s low-level radioactive liquid tank waste could cost between $480 million and $1.1 billion, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office, which has repeatedly found that grouting (immobilizing waste in a concrete-like mixture) can accelerate cleanup at the Hanford Site and save billions of dollars when compared to mixing the waste with molten glass through the vitrification process.

Talking about Nuclear Energy with the Next Administration: Regardless of which candidate wins election to the U.S. presidency in November, the incoming administration will be different than the current one – either in degrees or perhaps more dramatically. There will be different cabinet members, different senior political appointees, and some different members of Congress. Either way, proponents of nuclear energy will have a challenge in educating policy makers about the importance of nuclear energy and of maintaining or even adding to the funding for nuclear energy research and development. In this panel, we’ll discuss the issues, the challenges, and strategies for ANS success.
