Problems related to above ground storage of radioactive wastes at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory and steps taken to resolve these difficulties are discussed. The quantity of wastes now in storage and the amount forecasted to be in place by 1985 are disclosed. The condition of containers placed for storage between 1954 and 1970 is described. Programs for retrieval and repackaging for shipment to federal repositories are discussed. (DC)
