Construction of a new water treatment facility has begun on the Hanford Site, in support of the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) Program and future cleanup work at the site.
EM has authorized the use of a second mega-volume saltstone disposal unit (SDU) at Savannah River Site (SRS) after the project was completed ahead of schedule and under cost.
Record-breaking heat and the sheer size of the job could not stop the EM Office of River Protection and its tank operations contractor from safely completing a construction project critical to the Hanford Site’s Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste Program.
A new animation of the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) Program at the Hanford Site shows the integrated procedure that achieves tank waste treatment. That process is a key component of EM’s strategic cleanup vision.
A group of women engineers with EM Office of River Protection (ORP) tank operations contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) has established a series of monthly lunchtime presentations aimed at empowering and mentoring woman engineers.
EM and it’s liquid waste contractor at the Savannah River Site (SRS) have developed a unique commercial mixer pump to use in a tank with space limitations, allowing waste retrieval efforts to advance in the tank farms.
Members of EM leadership recently visited Catholic University’s Vitreous State Laboratory (VSL), a contributor to key innovations in the vitrification technology central to Hanford’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) in Washington state.
Hanford’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant team recently completed startup testing of a radioactive liquid waste disposal system that will play an instrumental role during future operations to treat waste from the site’s large underground tanks.
EM has created a new program in the liquid waste contract at the Savannah River Site (SRS) to simplify the process of transitioning engineering interns into new hires.
Workers have finished installing another surface barrier above a group of large underground waste storage tanks at the Hanford Site. The gravel & asphalt barriers help protect groundwater by diverting water from rain, snow, sleet, or hail to a lined basin
