The EM Nevada Program has safely and successfully completed environmental corrective actions at historically contaminated soils sites.

On the Site’s Central Plateau, workers are continuing their focus on treatment of the 56 million gallons of waste stored in 176 underground tanks.

This accomplishment required four contracts, untold hours of planning and preparation.

In 2018, EM and its cleanup contractor safely completed the demolition of the 50-foot-tall, 10,000-square-foot Vitrification Facility.

One of the final steps of deactivation, a “C.I.” designation means the massive building is radiologically safe for demolition.

Throughout its 30-year history, EM has focused on a particular environmental issue at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant site in western Kentucky.
