More than 1,250 students who visited the Idaho Falls Zoo in 2021 were treated to a bonus: the opportunity to learn more about science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM).

EM workers are in various stages of deactivation and demolition preparation inside 23 facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12).

EM has created a new program in the liquid waste contract at the Savannah River Site (SRS) to simplify the process of transitioning engineering interns into new hires.

Workers have finished installing another surface barrier above a group of large underground waste storage tanks at the Hanford Site. The gravel & asphalt barriers help protect groundwater by diverting water from rain, snow, sleet, or hail to a lined basin

The Hanford Site is closing in on treating 28 billion total gallons of groundwater to remove contamination since treatment began in the mid-1990s, significantly reducing risk to the Columbia River.

Recruiting the next generation of organized labor in the skilled trades is vital to EM’s important mission.

One of two major buildings for a modern air supply system designed to improve air quality for workers in the underground at EM’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is quickly going vertical.

A material resembling small glass beads will serve as a critical ingredient to heating up the first melter at Hanford’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) set for later this year.

EM has demonstrated the capability to expand double-stacking high-level waste canisters at the Savannah River Site (SRS), an approach that saves the cleanup program more than $100 million.
