Categorical Exclusion (CX) Determinations By Date

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hanford Field Office (HFO) and Cereza Energy Center LLC propose to construct a photovoltaic solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) facility (Cereza Energy Center or Facility) on the Hanford Site using a phased approach beginning with site characterization and environmental monitoring.
This Second Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, extended period of performance, and new project milestones to support the project team's small-scale research and development of a simple, scalable route for immobilizing multiple waste streams (metals, salts, carbon) from any potential advanced reactor fuel cycle into a singular, high-density, durable cermet (a heat-resistant ceramic and metallic composite) waste form.
