In 1959, the manager of Hanford facilities testified before a congressional committee N THE DANGERS OF HANFORD'S MILITARY RADIOACTIVH WASTE that the single-walled tanks were expected to last for 100 to 200 years. But they had already started to leak, and now 60 of the 149 tanks are either confirmed or probable m leaker.. m A 1953 O.S. 2.2.12 Geological Survey report, which had pointed out that the tanks were The HIS blandly asserts that all of the military radioactive potentially hazardous, was classified by the Atomic energy 3 .4 m 3. 1 waste at Hanford can easily be handled to prevent any threat to the public. But the discussion is incomplete; there is no mention of the fact that, as Dr. Taylor testified before my Subcommittee r the Inventories of dangerous isotopes in shallow burial are equal to Commission (MCI and not published until 1972. In 1968, the AEC also classified a highly critical report by the General Accounting Office. the that resulting from the explosions of several thousand one- In the 19605, AEC had to dig up trench Z-9 at Hanford, which megaton nuclear Weapons . , According to Dr. Taylors contained about 100 kilogram. of plutonium.

THE LINK TO COMMERCIAL HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL The EIS clearly displays bias toward leaving in place and trying to "stabilize" the waste now in the 149 single-walled tanks L by filling the tanks with gravel or sand, covering the area with 18 .feet of rock and dirt, and erecting signs on the surface saying, literally, "Don't Dig Here." This bide is reflected in thaw 1. bOE'. May 1986 Environmental Assessment. for the 1 sites Selected for characterization as the first repositoty for 3 .3.2.1 commercial high-level radioactive waste (Hanford, Yucca Mountain, Deaf Smith) do not mention a-need to accommodate waste retrieved from the single-walled tanks.. rather than "stabilization" in .place. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 specifically-requireS all .t high-level waste to be disposed in deep geologic repositories. w2 2.4.1 . 4 claims It need not follow these instructions for waste that may be difficult to retrieve. Thus, it appears that DOE efforts on defense waste and commercial waste are either uncoordinated, or it n is Politics as usual getting in the way of the best scientific 2.4.1.2 decision. What happen. if the vast.$ are-commingled and are disposed of at a high level repository located at Hanford, but defense ..etas meanwhile continue to. be generated at a high rate? Where Hill the addlt.onal waste be placed when the Hanford repository I. fall? It will have to be transported somewhere, which means the transportation issue will .have to be dealt with, either now or later. zero transportation of nuclear wastes from Hanford is not 3.4.2.2 an option. 3. 3. 2 . 1 2. DOE's unlawful decision to cancel work on selecting possible sites for a second repository was based upon a conclusion that a second repository would not be needed until about the year 2020.
