WVLT VOLUNTEER TV Knoxville, TN: Road will provide way to haul radioactive waste from K-25: "Road will provide way to haul radioactive waste from K-25
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. Soon the Department of Energy will have a new way to haul radioactive waste from the old K-25 facility to a nuclear landfill.
Work is ongoing on a road that will be used to haul tons of low-level radioactive waste away from the uranium-enrichment facility to a site six miles away.
Officials say the haul road will reduce public exposure to hazardous substances that are sometimes transported over public roadways.
The road is a vital part in the government's accelerated cleanup program and is expected to cost between 15 and 20 (m) million dollars.
Work is scheduled to wrap up near the end of the year.
