Six U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) sites are among a group of award winners who collectively cut greenhouse gas emissions last year by more than 565,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, which equates to taking 121,000 average U.S. passenger cars off the road for a year.

The Hanford Site’s 222-S Laboratory, operated by contractor Navarro-ATL, is upgrading the specialized equipment personnel use to safely handle and analyze samples to support cleanup operations across the site.

U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management crews recently demolished another steel-framed, fabric-covered building at the Radioactive Waste Management Complex’s Subsurface Disposal Area at the Idaho National Laboratory Site.

Control room personnel monitor systems at the Hanford Site’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant after recently adding the first batch of “tuning feed” to one of the plant’s large melters.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has recertified the West Valley Demonstration Project’s Environmental Management System, a management practice that allows organizations to conduct work in a systematic manner to minimize impacts of operations on the environment.

Crews with U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (EM) contractor Hanford Mission Integration Solutions (HMIS) designed a unique and challenging scenario to test the effectiveness of emergency response during the Hanford Site’s recent Annual Field Exercise.
