The following lists describe facilities in the Hanford project for disposal of radioactive liquid waste into the ground. Most are for planned disposals, but included are several which were not intended to become contaminated, but did, and several others which may be expected to become contaminated similarly. Not included are sanitary, powerhouse and a few other liquid disposal facilities which may receive only insignificant amounts of radioactive material. The lists do not include solid waste disposal facilities, or others (such as tanks, buried barrels) in which contaminated liquid is contained against entry into the soil.

Ultrasonic equipment has been developed for nondestructive testing of Hanford fuel elements. The ultrasonic method has replaced the Frost Test for bonding layer inspection in the Hanford canning line, and provides more accurate and reliable results at lower cost. The method has also been adopted to the testing of new fuel elements for which no other method is available.
