EM’s Office of River Protection awarded Hanford Site Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant contractor Bechtel National Inc. (BNI) approximately $9.5 million, or about 92%, of the available fee for work performed on the High-Level Waste (HLW) Facility last year.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) related to the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative focused on generating clean energy on DOE-owned lands.
