What is Stabilization and a Multimedia Cap for a Doe Mixed Waste Site about?
## Abstract Closure often of the eleven waste management units covering almost seventy‐five acres at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Y‐12 Plant has been completed. Costing about $47 million, DOE's accelerated Closure and Post Closure Program (CAPCA) has involved structural waste stabilization and installation of a multimedia cap to contain ferrous metals, salts, uranium, solvents, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), oils and coolants, asbestos, and material contaminated with radioisotopes. Designs for closure of the remaining waste unit—used for disposing depleted uranium chips, metals, oxides, organic and caustic chemicals, aged ethers, and more—are being prepared now; they will address the potentially explosive and pyrophoric nature of these wastes. This article describes CAPCA's innovative design and construction methods, as well as how its management coordinated the tight schedules mandated by agreements with federal and state regulatory agencies.
