RE: Liquid waste tank decommissioning!

["Richards, David" <david.richards@rfets.gov>]

When I was involved for a short time with some UGT removal at Oak Ridge a
few years back, the plan was to sent the removed tanks to a local company
(can't remember the name) to be melted. Perhaps some of our RADSAFE
colleagues in that area can fill in a name or tell us if they're even still
in operation.
