Perspectives from Hanford

The book provides an overview of the key elements involved in remediating complex waste sites using the Hanford nuclear site as a case study. The book is aimed at a non-technical audience and describes the stages of remediation based on RCRA/CERCLA processes, from site assessment to waste treatment and disposal and long-term monitoring.

Remediation of Legacy Hazardous and Nuclear Industrial Sites provides an overview of the key elements involved in remediating complex waste sites using the Hanford nuclear site as a case study. Hanford is one of the most complex waste sites in the world and has examples of most, if not all, characteristics of the complex waste sites that exist globally. This book is aimed at a non-technical audience and describes the stages of remediation based on general RCRA/CERCLA processes, from establishing a strategy that includes all stakeholders to site assessment, waste treatment and disposal, and long-term monitoring.

Features:

• Informs a non-technical audience of the important elements involved in complex waste site remediation
• Employs the Hanford Site as a case study throughout to explain real-world applications of remediation steps
• Connects the “human” element to the technical aspects through interviews with key current and retired individuals at the Hanford Site
• Includes discussion of stakeholders and the engagement process in remediation
• Demonstrates how all elements of complex waste site remediation from demolition of buildings to groundwater management are interrelated
• Focuses on broader technical and sociopolitical challenges for remediation of a contaminated site

Aimed at a broad audience, this book offers approachable guidance to technical and non-technical readers through a series of real-world examples that cover each important step in the complex waste cleanup process.
