Publisher's Synopsis
This edition of "Radioactive Waste Management and the Nuclear Fuel Cycle" examines the major areas of activities at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plan (WIPP), a research and development project of the United States Department of Energy (DOE). The introduction provides basic historical, background, and technical information about the WIPP, so that such details as geographic location, the nature of contact-handled (CH) and remote-handled (RH) transuranic (TRU) waste (etc.) do not need repetition in each article.;An annotated bibliography of additional sources of information of the WIPP is included.
