Rule
Summary
The EPA gave the green light to the Department of Energy to use two new waste panels (11 and 12) at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant for safely storing defense-related radioactive waste. This change replaces lost storage space and keeps the site safe for thousands of years. This means the DOE can continue its important cleanup work without delays or extra costs.
