Environmental science technicians have upgraded their equipment and taken other steps to make jobs safer at EM’s Portsmouth Site, helping eliminate slip, trip and fall hazards at multiple difficult-to-reach locations.
The axiom that a picture is worth a thousand words is especially true when communicating the complex work at DOE cleanup sites, according to Dylan Nichols, photographer for EM’s Paducah Site.
How do you prepare to demolish a 1-million-square-foot facility? One piece at a time.
The winners of this year’s DOE West Kentucky Regional Science Bowl T-shirt Design Contest celebrated “Making Breakthroughs” with their design.
EM recently awarded performance-based fees payments to 14 of its contractors at sites across the DOE complex, including Hanford, Savannah River, Oak Ridge, Paducah, Portsmouth, Nevada, Idaho, Los Alamos, Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and Savannah River National Laboratory.
Envisioning a future for EM sites can be challenging for communities given the longevity of cleanup activities. However, when two sites have an almost identical footprint — in this case Portsmouth in Ohio and Paducah in Kentucky — the opportunity to see potential becomes clearer.
The Paducah Site recently met an EM 2023 priority ahead of schedule with the safe and successful disposal of over 1 million pounds of R-114 refrigerant, an environmental hazard stored at the site.
Identifying which sections of piping to be removed from the C-333 Process Building at EM’s Paducah Site can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Firefighters at EM’s Portsmouth Site recently conducted the first live-fire training in a newly constructed training facility.
As women account for about half of U.S. workers in the fields of math and physical science, EM’s Paducah Site continues to ensure young girls are exposed to opportunities in such STEM fields.
