Savannah River Site Waste Management
DOE prepared this environmental impact statement (DOE/EIS-0217) to evaluate alternative approaches to and environmental impacts of managing wastes at the Savannah River Site (SRS). DOE's primary mission at SRS from the 1950s until the end of the Cold War was to produce and process nuclear materials to support defense programs. These activities generated five types of waste: liquid high-level radioactive, low-level radioactive, hazardous, mixed (radioactive and hazardous combined), and transuranic wastes.
