Description:
In the coming years, the K East and K West Reactors will be cocooned. A safe storage enclosure will be constructed over them to protect against weather and pest intrusion. The reactors will remain in interim safe storage for up to 75 years to allow the structures' radiation levels to decay and allow the Department of Energy, regulatory agencies and stakeholders to determine a final disposal method.
