N-Wastes in Murfreesboro Landfill - Nuclear Information and Resource Service. Out of Control - On Purpose: DOE's Dispersal
of Radioactive Waste into Landfills and Consumer Products (executive summary.)
Four landfills are licensed to accept radioactive waste which has been "processed" in Oak Ridge: Carter County (upper east TN
near Erwin); Anderson County (near Oak Ridge and Knoxville); Rutherford County (Murfreesboro and the closest one to
Nashville); and Shelby County (near
Memphis). Much of this waste originates in TN--Oak Ridge, NFS, etc., but that it comes in from other states too.
