    The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plans to draft an environmental assessment as part of the process to dispose of contaminated equipment, including a drill string, bubblers, and pumps, from the Savannah River Site. These items, contaminated with radioactive waste, are being considered for commercial low-level radioactive waste disposal at facilities outside South Carolina. This action is part of the DOE's efforts to manage waste efficiently, improve worker safety, and assist in the environmental cleanup of the site. The proposed evaluation will explore environmental impacts, including health, safety, and transportation concerns, associated with moving the waste to licensed facilities, potentially in Utah or Texas.
