NOWRDC released a new competitive solicitation to fund projects targeting offshore wind supply chain, logistics, and operations and maintenance. Concept paper submissions are due September 16, 2021.

EM has completed a cleanup project under budget and ahead of schedule at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) that will allow valuable land to be made available for the lab’s future use.

The Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant team has completed startup testing of two melters and related support systems in the Low-Activity Waste Facility.

EM is treating record-setting amounts of waste and dispositioning more decontaminated salt solution at the Savannah River Site (SRS), as the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) proves to be an aggressive workhorse for the site’s liquid waste mission.

Work is underway at EM’s Portsmouth Site on the first of five legacy groundwater plumes to be excavated for soil needed in the newly constructed On-Site Waste Disposal Facility (OSWDF).

The Savannah River Site (SRS) has made significant progress in cleaning up contaminated groundwater from legacy nuclear operations near two chemical separations facilities.

EM is replacing extensive piping to extend the life of the Liquid and Gaseous Waste Operations (LGWO) system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

Specially designed storage boxes will hold supplies to support 24/7 tank waste operations for the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) program at the Hanford Site.

EM’s Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO) recently awarded its Portsmouth Site decontamination and decommissioning contractor nearly $30.1 million, or about 85% of the total fee available for the evaluation period of October 2019 through March 2021.

EM recently awarded Oak Ridge cleanup contractor UCOR $10.9 million for its performance from October 2020 through March 2021, amounting to 98% of the available fee for the evaluation period.
