Some of the projects may appear under more than one field because they affect several phases of the HLW management process. The six research fields relevant to HLW management are the following: · characterization, · waste retrieval, · waste pretreatment, · waste immobilization, · tank closure, and · in situ disposal.

Specifically, these projects are related to the decontamination of HLW tanks and the characterization of soils around the tanks. However, as noted by a previous National Research Council report,8 there appears to be only a small number of projects addressing radionuclide and metal contamination problems in the near-field around the tanks, as well as a lack of projects concerning engineered surface or subsurface barriers.
