A partnership with a local economic development organization has provided qualified personnel to support the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management program at the Savannah River Site (SRS) since 2020.

In the half century since the inception of the Waste Management Symposia, many EM sites have come full circle, cleaned and transformed into wildlife refuges, wetland preserves and national parks, U.S. Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk remarked in a prerecorded video message to the audience at the annual conference.

EM’s contractor at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site took an important step in its efforts to support science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) education in Idaho with the formation of its weSTEAM program.

Dozens of high school students recently came to the HAMMER Federal Training Center to experience a “STEM Day” and get an up-close look at the EM cleanup mission and Hanford Site career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math fields.

EM Office of River Protection contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) has earned state and local accolades for its commitment to support veterans.
