DOE prefers off-site disposal of Moab U tailings

Washington (Platts)--7Apr2005

Off-site disposal of uranium mill tailings at Moab, Utah is among DOE's 
preferred alternatives for dealing with the waste. DOE announced today that 
off-site disposal of the tailings pile and other contaminated material and 
groundwater remediation will be included in the department's final 
environmental impact statement now being prepared. Sen. Dianne Feinstein 
(D-Calif.) said she welcomed "the decision in favor of moving millions of 
tons of radioactive uranium processing waste off the banks of the Colorado 
River, which is a major source of drinking water for Southern Californians, 
as well as residents of Utah, Nevada and Arizona."
