1 Nuclear Waste Storage in Utah!

2 Clive Storage Facility (Energy Solutions)  In 1990 Energy Solutions was permitted to treat and dispose of Class A low level radioactive waste (LLRW) and mixed low level radioactive waste (MLLRW)  Uses what is called a secure landfill which consists of 24 inch thick layers. The layers are made of clay, gravel, soil, rock and a polyethylene liner. Voids between barrels are filled with a grout-like material.  When containers arrive they are not opened due to the high radiation, instead they are removed from their shipping casks and placed into cement containers
