H5. Barnwell Tombstones. These granite burial markers sit at the back end of the ChemNuclear waste disposal site. Each is a headstone for a large clay trench containing metal drums, steel boxes, polyethylene containers, and carbon steel liners full of medical, industrial, and commercial low-level radioactive waste. The "institutional control period" for this site is 100 years. Barnwell, South Carolina. 7 August 1983.
