Low-level nuclear waste (LLNW) is currently disposed of using unsustainable concrete bunkers. A new, innovative proposal for remediating LLNW uses Vetiver grass, which absorbs the radionuclides from substrate. Using buffering zones and environmental justice considerations, 17 sites across Pennsylvania have been found to be desirable sites for such an operation.  Led by higher institutions, this program would be able to manage Pennsylvania’s LLNW in a sustainable manner.
