Idaho Cleanup Project crews have completed demolition of the Submarine 1st Generation Westinghouse naval reactor prototype plant, safely using explosives to carry out this key milestone. June 3, 2025

Idaho Cleanup Project crews have achieved a significant milestone in the deactivation and demolition of the defueled Submarine 1st Generation Westinghouse naval nuclear propulsion prototype reactor plant,

Cleanup crews transferred more than 20,000 gallons of radioactive liquid waste to reduce the environmental footprint of three underground waste tanks at the Idaho National Laboratory Site.

Idaho Cleanup Project personnel were so impressed with an inventive robotic technology during its demonstration recently that they immediately put it to work confirming the integrity of thousands of legacy waste drums, enabling their safe shipment to WIPP

The Idaho Cleanup Project has logged a series of performance and cost efficiency victories, allowing it to reinvest associated savings into more cleanup work.

The Idaho Cleanup Project team recently celebrated 7,500 transuranic waste shipments from the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.

After successfully completing their mission in one of the largest demolition projects in Idaho National Laboratory Site history, members of the Idaho Cleanup Project workforce are being trained for other cleanup work at the site.

An Idaho Cleanup Project contractor has provided funding to 15 classrooms in southeastern Idaho to support local educators and encourage the next generation of workers to pursue technical careers.

Facility treated over 1,700 gallons of waste per day — nearly triple the rate of previous run

A robot central to innovative methods Idaho Cleanup Project crews are developing to retrieve calcine, a granular solid waste, has successfully demonstrated its proficiency.
