Savannah River Site Burial Ground |

Solid waste stored in containers. Waste consists of many forms when packaged - nitrates,
fluorides, oxides, and oxalates. Over time, the oxidizing conditions force the chemistry of the
metals to their most stable form. At this time, the primary form of material in the containers is an
oxide or a complex form involving oxygen. |
