GENERAL RECOMMENDATION NUMBER 2
217
We have no objection to the 5 to 7 year period of research
into methods of safe disposal of the waste that remains in the
149 single-well tanks, but we believe the focus should be on a
safe system of retrieval , . rectification, encapsulation in stainlesa
steel containers and buried in a deep repository instead of
into on-site shallow burial at Hanford.
