Since operations commenced in 1965 the site has accepted over 4 million curies in over 13 million cubic feet of waste, including material from Three Mile Island, Fort St . Vrain and the Trojan plant . Waste is disposed in trenches about 300 – 700 feet long, 80 feet wide and 50 feet deep . While most disposed waste is Class A, several specialized trenches have been constructed for high activity (reactor) waste streams . Site envi- ronmental monitoring began in 1966 and in 1987 increased monitoring lo- cations and drilled 5 onsite ground- water wells . The limiting post closure dose scenario is a local Native Ameri- can, conducting normal activities on/ around the closed site, receiving 22 mrem in the period of 1,000 – 10,000 years post cover . Situated at the cen- ter of the Hanford Reservation, the commercial disposal site is leading the charge for closure of disposal sites on Hanford .

P.67 Spanish Moss as a Bio-in- dicator for the Natural and Artifi- cial Airborne Radionuclides Ojukwu, E., Odehge, E., Jasmine, C., Oliver, J., Chang, Z. South Carolina State University The Spanish moss samples have been collected in Orangeburg, SC . During the period of field sam- pling, the Nuclear Accident occurred at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Japan . This provide us a good chance to observe the absorption of Fukushima nuclear fallout by Span- ish moss . Artificial Cs-137 together with natural radionuclides such as K-40 and Bi-214 were observed in the moss samples . It is interesting to find that I-131 was not absorbed by the samples, though the concen- tration of I-131 is over 15 time as high as the Cs isotopes according to the filter samples we collected in the same area . This indicates that Spanish Moss does not scavenge the airborne chemical species, but absorbs elements selectively . More work is in progress to determine the different concentrations of radionu- clides absorbed in the moss sam- ples with different ages .
