WIPP
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facility near Carlsbad, New Mexico, is the first deep geologic repository for permanent disposal of defense-related transuranic waste in the United States. Transuranic waste consists primarily of protective clothing, tools, glassware, equipment, soils, and sludges that have been contaminated with trace amounts of manmade radioactive elements, such as plutonium.
