Silo 3 Treatment Facility

Workers will remove 5,100 cubic yards of low-level cold metal oxide waste from Silo 3. Waste from the production process was placed in the silo between 1952 and 1957. Workers will use pneumatic and mechanical retrieval systems to remove the waste from the silo and package it in soft-sided containers for off site shipment. The waste will be treated on as required to meet commercially permitted facility's waste acceptance criteria.
