Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: Between 1948 and 1958 the Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands was the site of 43 nuclear explosions, part of the government’s nuclear testing program. Responding to the demands of the Enewetak people, the government in 1972 decided to rehabilitate the atoll. In the cleanup process, radiologically contaminated soil and debris from many of the atoll’s islands were placed in a massive, domed concrete containment structure built over one of the bomb craters on Runit Island. In order to provide the people of Enewetak and the Marshallese Government with an objective assessment of the containment structure’s safety, the Defense Nuclear Agency asked the Advisory Board on the Built Environment of the National Research Council to study the matter. The committee appointed to conduct the study concentrated on two issues: (1) the potential hazard of transuranics being transported to the surrounding environment from the structure, and (2) the possible sequence of events that would affect the structure’s physical integrity, and the radioactive hazards that would result from breachment of the dome.; Major Descriptors: *MARSHALL ISLANDS -- RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL; *RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL -- RADIATION HAZARDS Descriptors: ALPHA-BEARING WASTES; CONTAINMENT; DECONTAMINATION; PLUTONIUM; RADIOACTIVE WASTE FACILITIES; RADIOACTIVE WASTES; SOILS; TRANSPORT Broader Terms: ACTINIDES; CLEANING; ELEMENTS; HAZARDS; HEALTH HAZARDS; ISLANDS; MANAGEMENT; MATERIALS; METALS; MICRONESIA; NUCLEAR FACILITIES; OCEANIA; RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS; RADIOACTIVE WASTES; TRANSURANIUM ELEMENTS; WASTE DISPOSAL; WASTE MANAGEMENT; WASTES “ Subject Categories: 052002* -- Nuclear Fuels -- Waste Disposal & Storage INIS Subject Categories: E52* -- Waste Disposal 10/5/688 (Item 388 from file: 103) Affiliation: EGandG Inc., P.O.
