Oak Ridge Transports First Waste Shipment to WIPP Under New Contract

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. – The Transuranic Waste Processing Center (TWPC) recently shipped its first load of transuranic (TRU) waste for disposal since coming under the management of Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) cleanup contractor UCOR.

TWPC work was recently moved under the Oak Ridge Reservation contract that continues for the next decade, ensuring appropriate resources and expertise are available to successfully address the remaining challenging TRU waste at Oak Ridge.

Employees at the facility are addressing a stockpile of legacy defense-related research waste. The most recent shipment included 35 drums and weighed nearly 80,000 pounds. After a two-day trip, the load arrived safely at EM’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico, for permanent disposal.

To complete the shipment, personnel prepared and loaded the waste containers over two days. A 10-person TWPC team worked closely with WIPP’s Central Characterization Program mobile load team.

“The process went like clockwork,” said TWPC Area Project Manager Randy Fadeley. “Everyone on the team was dedicated to getting this job done safely and on time.”

Water Pollution Cleanup with Hemp

#OhioTrainDisaster #OhioRiver



There are solutions to pollution. The Ohio Train Derailment and the toxins that are being reported on the Ohio River can be cleaned up. Here are examples of removing chemicals from water with modified hemp core.

Why is it so hard to work with the EPA?  I've been trying for years? Their silence is deafening.


 


 

We are The Pollution Solution The Goal of the Pollution Solution is to turn toxins and contaminants into $$ cash to offset the cost of remediation of cleanup projects which will allow for future use of the property that will not pose a health danger to People, Animals, and the Ecosystem.

Modeling and Monitoring Tools to Support Passive and Active NAPL Remedia...


i just attended this webinar and the free tool they are discussioning i feel would be a valuable addition to monitoring the site conditions as well as the remediation techniques in use.
they answered a question i submitted about using Arduino weather monitoring systems (these inexpensive mini computers can also monitor radiation)
I will be following up with them about the unanswered question about using their tool to incorporate electrokinetics into the remediation system. This is a system to get the toxins to move to a point for extraction as well as create a barrier, using low voltage.

A Natural Solution to the Pollution in the World

 I encourage everyone: if you don't think the creator has provided solutions to our problems, you might try getting out of the box and explore other avenues and thought patterns.

i can't stop them from spraying us with their chem trail geoengineering systems, but I can clean it out of the soil and water, in addition to other forms of pollution and toxins.  its pretty remarkable that the smallest organisms on the planet will take down the baddest and most harmful substances.  its not a coincidence that so many microbiologist have wound up dead in the prior 10 years.   i'm just a carpenter from missouri who asked God to lead me to a way to help my neighbors who have been exposed to the leftover nuclear contamination from the Atom Bomb creation. And thats how i figured out https://www.thepollutionsolution.org/  by reading hundreds of actual science papers where i figured out how to clean up pollution with what mother nature has provided.
