WIPP HAS BEEN DISPOSING OF LEGACY TRANSURANIC (TRU) WASTE SINCE 1999,
CLEANING UP 22 GENERATOR SITES NATIONWIDE.


Legacy TRU Waste Disposal Plan

WIPP was constructed for disposal of defense-generated TRU waste from DOE sites
around the country. TRU waste consists of clothing, tools, rags, residues,
debris, soil and other items contaminated with small amounts of plutonium and
other man-made radioactive elements. The waste is permanently disposed of in
rooms mined in an underground salt bed layer over 2000 feet from the surface.
