I can not believe the idiocy of our government. That had a method that was working and then changed the absorbent without checking the chemical makeup and possible chemical reactions, Idiocy of the first degree!

Actually, Laz, clay kitty litter, or if you prefer, oil-dry, is a great absorbent. It is used in containers to take care of residual moisture, to ‘mitigate’ possibility of free standing water. Personally, I would have suggested dry cement. That works well too.
Bottom line, there are regs for free-water content. An absorbent of some kind is a prudent addition to the package. Not sure why they decided to go with an organic based absorbent, beyond not being ‘in the loop’ that the clay based version had been replaced.

Switched from clay-based to wheat-based absorbent. More details here: Absorbent Used in Kitty Litter May Be Cause of Radiation Leaks at WIPP
Who authorized EnergySolutions to switch
or did they do it to SAVE THE EARTH ?
