What Does BWIP Stand For?

BWIP stands for Basalt Waste Isolation Project

The Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP) is an initiative aimed at evaluating the feasibility of isolating and disposing of hazardous nuclear waste within basalt formations. This project focuses on studying the geological, hydrological, and engineering aspects of basalt as a medium for long-term waste containment, ensuring environmental safety and compliance with regulatory standards. BWIP seeks to enhance our understanding of waste isolation technologies and contribute to sustainable waste management solutions.
