The University of Georgia’s (UGA) Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL), located on the Savannah River Site (SRS), recently celebrated the 70th anniversary of its creation.

The COVID-19 pandemic fast-forwarded the adoption and adaptation of the digital workplace and like at many EM sites, numerous work groups at the Hanford Site have mastered that shift.

EM’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant team recently finished the final phase of jobsite roadway and parking lot paving work for Hanford’s Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) facilities.

EM’s Richland Operations Office and contractor Central Plateau Cleanup Company have safely packaged and shipped the first engineered container of highly contaminated filter media from the K West Reactor spent fuel storage basin to T Plant.

Two major EM contractors at the Savannah River Site received high marks from a recent independent audit of their environmental management system.

The amount of salt mined so far in Panel 8 at EM’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is a lot, comparable in weight to more than 46,000 Ford F-150s, about 16,000 African bush elephants, nearly 510 Boeing 747s, and two Titanic's.

With EM’s mission completed in major sections of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site’s largest building, workers have emptied those areas to prepare them for closure under federal and state regulations.
