A documentary titled 'Project Salt Vault' depicts methods of disposing of waste uranium in the United States. View of a nuclear power plant. Cars parked in front of the plant. Electrical feeders attached to a bay. The conveyors. Uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor. An animation depicts the reprocessing of the leftover uranium fuel to separate it from radioactive waste. The uranium waste is stored in tanks. A man undertakes experiments at the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to reduce the volume of the waste. An animation depicts heating process for reducing the waste. A sign board reads 'Project Salt Vault, Oak Ridge National Laboratory'. A salt bed is used to dispose of waste uranium. A man walks in a salt mine.
A documentary depicts disposal of high level nuclear waste in salt mines in the United States for radioactive waste. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). A man works on a machine and conducts a test. He operates the machine. A board reads' Project Salt Vault'. High level solidified waste. A truck carries canned fuel element for an experiment. A salt mine. A ground crew comes and collects data. Interior of the mine. A man conducts the experiment. Fuel assembly array located in different sections of the mine. An electronic heated control array. Canned fuel element for demonstration is unloaded from a special carrier. It is placed vertically over a shaft. Underground crew operates a transporter control. The can is lowered. An animation shows the can being lowered and mounted on a fuel canned transporter. A check for radiation leakage is made after the transporter doors are closed. The crew moves back to the room where the experiment is conducted. A crew man removes the radio active container from a transporter cask. The cask in lowered and a hoist cable is disconnected. The transporter carries the fuel can to the experiment room. The fuel can is kept in a hole. The crew moves and operates a remote control.
A documentary depicts disposal of high level nuclear waste in salt mines in the United States. A crew man checks a storage hole. Animation depicts the containment, removal of cans, backfilling of holes with crushed salt, and replacing of fuel cans with highly radioactive fuel. A man installs tubes in the hole. A machine which tells the exact temperature in the experimental area. A man looks through a dumpy level. Another man takes measurement with a floor to ceiling gauge and a wall to wall conversion gauge. A man uses a strain gauge to obtain data. Men insert holders into the hole. A man looks at the machine which gives the salt flow data. Two men study the data and draw an actual design requirement of a disposal facility. An animation depicts the process of disposal of crushed salt. A transporter moves after an experiment
