Preparing waste for shipment out of the state (QuickTime Version) Employees at Hanford's Waste Receiving and Processing Facility prepare waste containers for the 1,800-mile trip to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico. Since 2000, Hanford crews have sent approximately 400 shipments of transuranic waste to WIPP. Transuranic waste is equipment and debris contaminated with traces of long-lived radionuclides, primarily plutonium, and is called transuranic because its radioactive isotopes are above uranium on the periodic table of elements.
