The service needed is for the storage of containerized radioactive waste. The waste is already packaged in cask liners commonly known as 8-120's and 1-13's. The casks and liners were designed and approved for CNS, now operated by Duratek, Inc. The material is not to be repackaged. It is for the storage of the 15 cask liners. The important thing for any company thinking about bidding is that the waste inside the cask liners is classified as Greater Than Class C (GTCC). EPA believes there is no facility in the U.S. that may accept the GTCC waste for disposal. Therefore, it has to be stored.
