EM and it’s liquid waste contractor at the Savannah River Site (SRS) have developed a unique commercial mixer pump to use in a tank with space limitations, allowing waste retrieval efforts to advance in the tank farms.

Members of EM leadership recently visited Catholic University’s Vitreous State Laboratory (VSL), a contributor to key innovations in the vitrification technology central to Hanford’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) in Washington state.

Like the gold at Fort Knox and the Hope Diamond, Hanford’s “valuables” were once housed in one of the most secure facilities in the nation.

Hanford’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant team recently completed startup testing of a radioactive liquid waste disposal system that will play an instrumental role during future operations to treat waste from the site’s large underground tanks.

EM’s West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) and cleanup contractor CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley (CHBWV) have released two videos related to the planned demolition of the Main Plant Process Building.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has completed safe demolition of the final DOE-owned buildings at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC), located northwest of Los Angeles, California.

Climate change and cyber threats are increasingly putting the reliability and resilience of our power system at risk. As the nation brings new clean energy capacity online, we can ensure the grid delivers affordable, reliable electricity to all.

EM and the management and operations contractor at the Savannah River Site (SRS) have torn down a large industrial cooling tower built in 1952, part of more than 85,000 cubic feet of waste and scrap material removed from the site’s D Area complex.

EM workers are in various stages of deactivation and demolition preparation inside 23 facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12).

Workers have finished installing another surface barrier above a group of large underground waste storage tanks at the Hanford Site. The gravel & asphalt barriers help protect groundwater by diverting water from rain, snow, sleet, or hail to a lined basin
