North Wind has devised a method to remove buried radioactive waste by using a specially design casing with jetting tubes inside it. Using an APE Model 400 driver/extractor the casing is vibrated over the waste and jetted with a special epoxy that hardens when it comes in contact with water. Once the bottom is sealed, the top is sealed with concrete and then extracted with the vibro.
This new method greatly reduces the cost of retrieving radioactive waste for proper storage. The next phase of this procedure will take place in the “hot zone”
