EM’s Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) has successfully processed more than 1 million gallons of radioactive waste at Savannah River Site (SRS) since the first-of-a-kind facility began processing the legacy material in October 2020.
Workers demolish a section of the metal roof over the Ford Building at the Savannah River Site. At the height of the Cold War, the facility was used to test components used in five nuclear reactors at the site.
The Savannah River Site (SRS) management and operations contractor received an overall rating of “excellent” and nearly $45 million — or 96% of the available fee award — for its performance from Aug. 1, 2019 through Nov. 30, 2020.
