EM Office of River Protection (ORP) contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) recently conducted load testing on a crane that will play a crucial role in assembling spare melters critical to tank waste treatment at the Hanford Site.

As summer comes to an end, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is at the center of response and recovery efforts following Hurricane Ida, while continuing to propel research and innovations that will help achieve a net-zero economy by 2050.

NNSA will contribute $1 million to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s effort to combat plastic pollution with nuclear technology, Principal Deputy Administrator Frank Rose announced during a virtual roundtable last month.

The Integrated Disposal Facility, a key component of the Hanford Site’s Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste Program, is a step closer to disposing of treated tank waste, thanks to EM Richland Operations Office (RL) contractor Central Plateau Cleanup Company .

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.

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.
