Researchers at the University of Chicago have utilized a new framework for understanding the electronic properties of amorphous carbon.

Twenty years ago, a mock-up single-shell tank on the Hanford Site went into service, allowing workers to safely test prototype systems and train in a nonradioactive environment.

The area near the Hanford Site’s former K Reactors is buzzing with activity as several environmental cleanup projects continue to reduce risk near the Columbia River.

For about a dozen teens, summer camp brought them into the world of EM's environmental cleanup at Oak Ridge.

Purchasing environmentally friendly products is a longtime goal of EM’s Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project, and the site has been recognized for it for a third year in a row.

As a twentysomething operations technician, Mark Henderson thought he would work in the Transuranic Storage Area-Retrieval Enclosure (TSA-RE) at DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site for his entire career.

EM is reducing radiological exposure, reducing costs and minimizing facility downtime at the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) at the Savannah River Site (SRS) by using existing facilities to rebuild critical equipment onsite.

EM’s Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO) recently awarded the Portsmouth Site decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) contractor about $16.6 million.

The previous EM Savannah River Site (SRS) liquid waste contractor, Savannah River Remediation (SRR), recently earned an overall “excellent” performance rating and nearly $16 million or 95.5% of the available fee.

The detector, supported by University of Michigan researchers, has passed a check-out phase of startup operations and delivered first results.
