ABSTRACT:
A system provides a lift-liner for efficient transport of units of bulk cargo (especially bulk cargo that is radioactive hazardous material waste), and economical disposal of the lift-liner for storage of the waste therein. The cargo is transported in the lift-liner from a remediation site to a railroad siding, during transport on a railroad gondola car, from the gondola car to a waste storage site, and within such storage site to a storage cell, in which the lift-liner and the waste therein are placed. The units are defined by the lift-liner, which is capable of containing up to about twelve tons of the waste. A container of the lift-liner is provided with at least five straps connected to two opposite walls, and four straps connected to two other opposite walls, and a bottom between corners of the container. Collectively, the straps may receive up to about twelve tons of vertical lifting force from a lift grid having a connector vertically above and aligned with each strap. The straps assist the container in containing the waste and apply vertical forces to the walls and to the bottom to lift the container. Embodiments of the lift-liner are provided for waste in the form of contaminated dirt, and for contaminated demolition materials. Flaps at the top of the container are provided with loops and webs to facilitate defining tucks as the flaps are pulled across the open top of the container, and for tying the flaps securely closed.
