The tunnel is 109 meters long and houses 8 rail cars holding highly radioactive equipment. The bulk of the contaminated equipment are waste concentrators. These were used to separate out remaining uranium and plutonium from nitric acid. The liquid was sent back to be reused in the extraction process while the sludge was sent to the waste processing facilities. These concentrators are radioactive and may contain residues on the equipment. One concentrator was logged as having 40,000 curies of radiation when it was placed in the tunnel.
