Crews with U.S. Department of Energy contractor Central Plateau Cleanup Company recently replaced two 10,000-gallon leachate collection tanks at two mixed-waste trenches on the Hanford Site, completing a key infrastructure upgrade that will support safe, reliable waste disposal operations for years to come.
The Hanford Site’s complex operational landscape requires continuous innovation to ensure safe, compliant and efficient management of aging nuclear facilities.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management has broken ground for the next phase of tank waste treatment at the Hanford Site.
The Hanford Site’s tank-side pretreatment system set a new record, processing more than 222,000 gallons of radioactive tank waste in September during its latest run — the largest batch processed since the Tank-Side Cesium Removal System began operating in 2022.
With nearly 13,000 employees across the Hanford Site relying on a functioning information technology infrastructure, quick response time to a system outage is critical to the cleanup mission.

Crews led by U.S. Department of Energy contractor Central Plateau Cleanup Company have safely isolated and stabilized contaminated gloveboxes at the Waste Receiving and Processing facility, a key risk-reduction project on the Hanford Site.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management University Programs are building a workforce pipeline to help complete the legacy nuclear cleanup mission.
Interns at the Hanford Site helped improve how contract reviews are assigned, creating a tool that saves time, reduces errors and makes the process more consistent.
