RICHLAND, Wash. – Watch time-lapse footage of workers preparing the T Plant canyon deck at the Hanford Site to receive K-West Reactor Fuel Storage Basin sludge by removing the legacy equipment shown in the 2012 photo at top. The equipment was used to process sludge from a pit at the K-East Reactor Fuel Storage Basin in 2005. Removal of the equipment, reflected in the 2016 photo immediately above, will allow access to the canyon cells that will be modified to store sludge removed from the K-West basin in 2018 as part of the EM Richland Operations Office’s cleanup.
