South of PUREX are two storage tunnels that hold discarded equipment from PUREX and items that must be handled remotely due to high levels of radiation. The first tunnel was built in 1956 and sealed in 1965, and holds eight railcars of waste. The second tunnel was built in 1964, and holds waste in 28 railcars.
