As the Hanford Site gears up to treat tank waste for disposal through the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) Program, workers are upgrading many site facilities to support 24/7 operations. One of those facilities is the 242-A Evaporator.

An intern supporting EM at the Idaho National Laboratory Site this summer touted his hands-on experience in the field as beneficial to understanding the dynamic nature of his intended profession.

EM contractor Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) was recently recertified with the DOE Voluntary Protection Program’s (VPP) Star status, the highest safety honor a DOE contractor can achieve.

EM is entering the next phase of cleanup at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) after achieving a pivotal milestone: completion of demolition of the final 18 DOE-owned buildings on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) site.

EM has developed a series of innovative initiatives to support improved groundwater monitoring and remediation across the DOE complex, including a new publicly available web-based application.

After a one-year pilot, EM is growing a program at the Savannah River Site (SRS) that simplifies the process of transitioning interns into new hires.

Crews at the Hanford Site’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant recently finished testing “bubblers,” special equipment critical to transforming radiological and chemical tank waste into a glass form for safe disposal.
