Gunite
Tanks Cleanout at Oak Ridge Reservation
In September 2000, the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee took a giant
step toward tank closure with the successful completion of the Gunite
and Associated Tanks Remediation Project. With key technology development
provided by the Tanks Focus Area and the Robotics Crosscutting Program
(Rbx), partners at Oak Ridge National Laboratoryconcluded a three-year
project that cleaned out eight underground gunite tanks, removing more
than 423,000 gallons of radioactive sludge and liquid containing approximately
88,000 curies of radiation. See the rest of the article at http://www.wpi.org/initiatives/init/spring01/gaat.htm.
