Abstract

This report outlines the attempted sampling of drum 68660—the breached drum identified in Panel 7 of the WIPP. When Drum 68660 breached, the incident left a gap in the lip of the drum and it is assumed that its contents spewed in the vicinity of the drum and throughout Panel 7. Several rows of waste were affected, based on the disappearance of the MgO over packing of several rows.

West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) for Calendar Year 2025

The report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy West Valley Demonstration Project office (DOE-WVDP), summarizes the environmental protection program at the WVDP for calendar year (CY) 2025. Monitoring and surveillance of the facilities used by the DOE are conducted to verify protection of public health and safety and the environment. The report is a key component of the DOE’s effort to keep the public informed of environmental conditions at the WVDP. The quality assurance protocols applied to the environmental monitoring program ensure the validity and accuracy of the monitoring data. In addition to demonstrating compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and directives, the evaluation of data collected in 2025 continued to indicate that WVDP activities posed no threat to public health or safety, or to the environment.
