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."
