On August 3, a waste drum was punctured during disposal activities underground at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The drum contained radioactive and hazardous wastes from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
WIPP is the nation's dump for waste generated from the production of nuclear weapons, which is located in the southeastern corner of New Mexico. Waste packed in 55-gallon drums is disposed of in salt formations 2,150 feet below ground. Waste is shipped from Department of Energy (DOE) sites around the country to WIPP.
