Nuclear Waste Management

Providing scientific information and analyses, as well as programmatic advice to both national and international entities, as they strive to resolve nuclear waste management challenges

Sandia’s nuclear waste management expertise is highlighted particularly by our long-standing scientific advisor role in support of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) and by our lead lab role on the Yucca Mountain Project (YMP). We also continue our research in storage and transportation of nuclear waste and in its disposal in deep geologic settings.
