Several new partnerships will help provide the workforce necessary for the future of the Hanford Site’s cleanup mission.

EM and its cleanup contractor at the West Valley Demonstration Project continue to dismantle a cell of the Main Plant Process Building, one of the site's last remaining major facilities whose successful demolition will further reduce environmental risks.

A team at the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) at the Hanford Site recently tested the plant’s autosampling system, capping off an effort to address technical challenges affecting system reliability.

The Integrated Waste Treatment Unit has progressed to treating sodium-bearing waste entirely, the next step in efficiently removing remaining liquid radioactive waste from nearby Cold War-era underground tanks and closing them to protect the environment.

EM released its Strategic Vision 2023-2033, a blueprint to the program’s anticipated cleanup achievements over the next decade.

Two EM senior leaders visited southern Nevada recently to learn about the latest work of the EM Nevada Program and other organizations at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS).

Since the launch of operations just over a month ago, the Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) has increased sodium-bearing waste treatment fivefold, a crucial step in removing remaining liquid waste from nearby underground tanks.

A team of designers with EM Richland Operations Office contractor Central Plateau Cleanup Company (CPCCo) is using 3D laser scanning technology to gather data to help workers prepare some of the facilities on the Hanford Site for demolition.

EM has successfully commenced a major disposal effort for a key uranium-enrichment byproduct with the recent arrival of 60 uranium-oxide storage cylinders by rail at a licensed facility in west Texas.

EM crews are slated to take down hundreds of old, contaminated buildings at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Y-12 National Security Complex.
