Description The Energy Department is obligated under both the Tri-Party Agreement (TPA) and federal and state environmental statutes to empty the nuclear and toxic waste storage tanks and treat the waste from the tanks.
We’ve asked the federal court to establish and enforce specific deadlines for emptying 142 single-shell tanks and for treating the 53 million gallons of hazardous and radioactive waste in all 177 underground tanks.
