The plant was started up in November 1974 to encapsulate the high heat producing isotopes, cesium and strontium, recovered from Hanford production reactor fuels reprocessing wastes. After the cesium is doubly encapsulated in the stainless-steel cylinders, the entire capsule assembly is checked for integrity and the capsules stored in underwater storage basins in the facility. The remaining waste is solidified for storage in underground tanks. Credit: Battelle Northwest Laboratory
