The Clive Disposal Site is the site of a radioactive waste storage facility[1] currently operated by EnergySolutions in Clive, Utah, an unincorporated community of Tooele County.[2] It is located in the western portion of the state, close to the Dugway Proving Grounds. The site accepts depleted uranium, a material that takes millions of years to decay, and therefore requires special precautions and regulations.[3]
