Is WIPP back in use? They had an accident (used artificial kitty litter as packing material instead of natural, caused a storage malfunction) about 2 years ago.

My understanding is that the clean up will run around $2 billion.
Don't know if the clean up needs to be complete before use restarts...
- SaberTail 10y agoI don't know if they're actively receiving waste shipments yet. The facility itself is running, though. I used to work on a science experiment there, and some of my former colleagues have been able to get underground starting earlier this year.
