Adams spent 24 years on its 586 square miles of desert terrain. His thoughtful vignettes recall challenges and sites he worked on or found personally intriguing. Adams helped determine the initial scope of the soil and solid waste cleanup. The Environmental Restoration and Disposal Facility today covers 107 acres and has a capacity of 18 million tons. His group also designed and tested a marked, maintenance-free disposal barrier. It uses natural materials that will remain stable for thousands of years. They expanded a network of groundwater monitoring wells to define contaminated plumes, assess treatment effectiveness, and provide relevant data to hydrologists. They also developed a pilot scale pump and treatment plant for use on a four-square-mile carbon tetrachloride plume. Adams shares his perspective on leaking high-level waste storage tanks, dosimeters, and Hanford's obsession with safety."$c--Provided by publisher. 606 $aRadioactive waste sites$xCleanup$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01087930 606 $aRadioactive pollution$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01087680 606 $aNuclear weapons plants$xWaste disposal$xEnvironmental aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01041052 606 $aIndustrial safety$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00971664 606 $aHazardous waste site remediation$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00952317 606 $aGroundwater$xPollution$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00948250 606 $aEnvironmental engineers$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00912975 606 $aEcology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00901476 606 $aRadioactive waste sites$xCleanup$zWashington (State)$zHanford Site 606 $aRadioactive pollution$zWashington (State)$zHanford Site 606 $aGroundwater$xPollution$zWashington (State)$zHanford Site 606 $aHazardous waste site remediation$zWashington (State)$zHanford Site 606 $aNuclear weapons plants$xWaste disposal$xEnvironmental aspects$zWashington (State)$zHanford Site 606 $aEnvironmental engineers$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aWashington (State)$zHanford Site$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aHanford Site (Wash.)$xSafety measures 607 $aHanford Site (Wash.)$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aHanford Site (Wash.)$xHistory 608 $aHistory. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRadioactive waste sites$xCleanup. 615 0$aRadioactive pollution. 615 0$aNuclear weapons plants$xWaste disposal$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aIndustrial safety. 615 0$aHazardous waste site remediation. 615 0$aGroundwater$xPollution. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineers. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aRadioactive waste sites$xCleanup 615 0$aRadioactive pollution 615 0$aGroundwater$xPollution 615 0$aHazardous waste site remediation 615 0$aNuclear weapons plants$xWaste disposal$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental engineers 676 $a623.4/5119 676 $aB 700 $aAdams$b Melvin R.$f1941-$01740832 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910862083003321 996 $aAtomic Geography$94166681 997 $aUNINA
