The White Mesa Mill in southeastern Utah has transformed its business model to operate as a waste-disposal service, charging millions in fees to process and discard other industrial and military facilities' radioactive wastes. More than 15 different radioactive waste streams have been approved for shipment to the mill from contaminated sites across the United States and as far away as Canada, Europe, and Japan.
