The Low-Level Waste Management site at the
Nevada Test Site provides efficient disposal of
radioactive wastes generated in the nuclear
weapons program. Waste is trucked to the site in
Department of Transportation approved containers
and buried in the large trench. As it fills, the
pit is covered with soil and marked on an
identifying grid at the surface.
