The EM Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) team is on track to conduct the next phase of safety testing inside the Low-Activity Waste (LAW) Facility, now that initial testing of its two “melter trains” is complete.
EM’s ORP and its tank operations contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) recently installed a pump inside a large underground waste storage tank that is integral to a program that will treat the Hanford Site’s tank waste.
An EM Office of River Protection (ORP) contractor team has finished creating almost 5,500 step-by-step procedures required for operation of Waste Treatment and WTP systems and facilities needed for Hanford’s DFLAW approach to tank waste treatment.
Physical progress is visible at the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) as EM’s Office of River Protection (ORP) moves closer to treating millions of gallons of Hanford Site tank waste.
Workers will soon begin testing and commissioning upgrades to one of two water systems on the Hanford Site to ensure the site’s infrastructure will support long-term cleanup activities.
EM Office of River Protection (ORP) tank operations contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) is installing a new wastewater filter system at the Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF) to increase waste processing throughput & improve efficiency.
Twenty-five years ago this month, the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) at the Savannah River Site (SRS) began radioactive operations.
Workers continue to make progress on construction of the Integrated Disposal Facility, a key component of the Hanford Site’s Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste program to begin treating tank waste.
The word “rad” has finally arrived at the EM Office of River Protection (ORP) Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant at the Hanford Site, and it’s not for a 1980s throwback.
