Inkunkuma yoLwahlulo loLingo lwePlati

I-Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, okanye i-WIPP, yindawo yesithathu enzulu ye-geological repository (emva kwendawo yokugcina inkunkuma ye-radioactive yaseJamani i-Morsleben kunye nomgodi wetyuwa we- Schacht Asse II) onelayisensi yokugcina inkunkuma ye-transuranic iminyaka eyi-10,000. Inkunkuma ivela kuphando kunye nemveliso yezixhobo zenyukliya eUnited States.  Le projekthi iqikelelwa ukuba inexabiso elipheleleyo le-19 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi. Feder, Toni.

Ibekwe malunga nama-42 km kwimpuma yeCarlsbad, eNew Mexico, kwimpuma ye-Eddy County, kwindawo eyaziwa ngokuba yi "Southeastern New Mexico Nuclear Corridor", njengoko ikwabandakanya i-National Enrichment Facility kufuphi ne -Eunice, inqanaba eliphantsi lokulahlwa kwenkunkuma ngaphaya nje komda kufuphi ne-Andrews., eTexas, kunye ne-International Isotopes, Inc. indawo eza kwakhiwa kufutshane ne-Eunice, eNew Mexico.

Kwi-2010, i -USDAO yarhoxisa izicwangciso zangaphambili zokuphuhlisa indawo yokugcina inkunkuma yenyukliya yeYucca Mountain eNevada. I-WIPP ichongwe njengomgqatswa kwindawo yokugcina inkunkuma yenkunkuma enxulumene nezixhobo zenyukliya.  Iziganeko ezininzi kulo mzi-mveliso ngo-2014 zabonisa ingxaki yokwanda kwenkunkuma kunye nokhuseleko lwendawo yokugcina impahla.  Izehlo zango-2014 zibandakanya ugqabhuko-dubulo lwenkunkuma kunye nokukhutshwa kwezixhobo zeradiyoloji emoyeni eziveze abasebenzi abangama-21 kwiplanti kwiidosi zeplutonium, into enoxanduva lomhlaza wemiphunga, isibindi kunye namathambo.
