New Chief of Mining Starts at WIPP
Liquid waste operations at SRS have successfully restarted after a comprehensive, 15-month outage to replace and upgrade equipment and facilities.
An employee with EM ORP contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS), recently completed his first pump removal removal and installation.
EM’s Office of River Protection last week approved a critical safety basis plan needed before WTP can begin vitrifying low-activity tank waste.
The Grand Challenge winner proposes to develop a technical basis for using cementitious materials for immobilizing treated low-activity waste streams.
EM’s Office of River Protection and tank operations contractor WRPS completed the first tank waste volume reduction campaign of the year.
EM’s ORP and contractor Washington River Protection Solutions continue to make substantial progress demobilizing equipment from Hanford’s C Tank Farm.
