The Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) at the US Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is now fully operational, according to the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Environmental Management (EM) Office. It is now treating sodium-bearing waste entirely, which is the next step in removing remaining liquid radioactive waste from nearby Cold War-era underground tanks and closing them to protect the environment.
