EM Richland Operations Office (RL) contractor Hanford Mission Integration Solutions (HMIS) recently installed piping and tubing to provide critical water and network data infrastructure to the Hanford Site’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP).
Robot technology is providing new ways to monitor the integrity of underground double-shell waste-storage tanks at the Hanford Site.
EM has requested a fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget of $7.64 billion, an amount that will enable the program to continue making strong, steady and sustained progress on priorities to clean up legacy nuclear sites now and in the years ahead.
As EM continues its historic cleanup across the DOE complex, its liquid waste work is taking a higher profile.
