After more than 30 years of mitigating the most pressing environmental risks, EM is approaching a crossroads, shifting to remaining work that involves some of the toughest and most expensive challenges.

EM’s radioactive liquid waste treatment facility at the Idaho National Laboratory Site will begin its final heat-up this month before initiating radiological operations early next year.

EM and a contractor counterpart have outlined end-state plans for Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site facilities that will result in a prominent transformation across the 890-square-mile site within this decade.

EM recently awarded performance-based fees payments to 14 of its contractors at sites across the DOE complex, including Hanford, Savannah River, Paducah, Portsmouth, Nevada, Idaho, Los Alamos and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.

Watch a new animated video showing how EM and cleanup contractor CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley (CHBWV) will safely take down the Main Plant Process Building at the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP).

An EM project at the Idaho National Laboratory Site successfully obtained important mapping and radiological data in what is believed to be the world’s first piloted drone mission inside a high-level radioactive waste storage vault.
