The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIPP, in New Mexico, US, is the world's third deep geological repository (after Germany's Repository for radioactive waste Morsleben and the Schacht Asse II salt mine) licensed to store transuranic radioactive waste for 10,000 years.
In 2017, the year WIPP reopened in April of that year, there were just 133 shipments of nuclear waste sent to the site. The highest annual total ever was 1,142 shipments reported in 2006, records ...
