Crews at the Hanford Site have begun heating up the world’s largest melter that will transform radioactive and chemical tank waste currently stored in underground tanks into a vitrified glass form safe for disposal.

EM Senior Advisor William "Ike” White traveled to Oak Ridge last week, where he had a full agenda speaking to government and industry leaders.

EM is using an innovative system at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site to streamline an annual inspection process and reduce resources needed to complete reports.

Workers with EM Office of River Protection (ORP) tank operations contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) are “going green” with new battery-powered electric generators on the Hanford Site.

The EM Los Alamos Field Office (EM-LA) and cleanup contractor Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos (N3B) finished fiscal year 2022 (FY22) by exceeding EM’s goals for shipping radioactive waste offsite to permanent disposal facilities.

EM has released a web-based mapping tool called TRAC, or Tracking Restoration And Closure, that transforms data and other technical material about groundwater plumes at EM sites into relevant, easy-to-understand information.

EM crews at Oak Ridge have cleared another excess, contaminated facility, opening land for reuse at the Y-12 National Security Complex.

Crews at EM's Portsmouth Site recently finished excavating the first of five legacy landfills whose soil will be used to support the On-Site Waste Disposal Facility (OSWDF).

EM Senior Advisor William “Ike” White praised recent progress in EM’s cleanup work and laid out a roadmap of future success as he kicked off the first full day of the annual National Cleanup Workshop in Arlington, Virginia on Sept. 22.

A panel of leaders from EM and several of its contractors provided updates at the National Cleanup Workshop on key progress and discussed the next phase of the cleanup mission.
