EERE seeks comments on the testing facilities and capabilities that will validate and advance emerging and future hydropower technology innovations.

EM’s Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project recently accomplished an EM 2021 priority by successfully relocating another million tons of uranium mill tailings away from the Colorado River.

EM has authorized the use of a second mega-volume saltstone disposal unit (SDU) at Savannah River Site (SRS) after the project was completed ahead of schedule and under cost.

Record-breaking heat and the sheer size of the job could not stop the EM Office of River Protection and its tank operations contractor from safely completing a construction project critical to the Hanford Site’s Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste Program.

An Idaho National Laboratory research team has identified models that could help scale-up processing to industry scale at an economically low cost.

EM’s Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project shipped more than 1 million tons of mill tailings for disposal in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the largest annual amount since fiscal 2012.

A new animation of the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) Program at the Hanford Site shows the integrated procedure that achieves tank waste treatment. That process is a key component of EM’s strategic cleanup vision.

Crews are nearly finished deactivating the second of three collections of old, mercury-contaminated equipment surrounding the Alpha-4 facility at the Y-12 National Security Complex at Oak Ridge.
