Three specialty drop-deck trailers arrived at Hanford recently and are now staged on site in anticipation of transporting containers of glassified waste to permanent storage once Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) operations commence. The three trailers, along with the modified prototype trailer used to test the system (shown here), comprise the Immobilized Low-Activity Waste (ILAW) transport fleet. The waste containers will be placed in specialty fabricated pallets, which are fastened to the trailers. The first delivery of pallets is expected in May.
