RICHLAND, Wash. – The final class of commissioning technicians recently completed the classroom portion of their in-depth systems training for operating the Hanford Site’s Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant. The technicians began their shift work earlier this month to finish the on-the job training portion of their curriculum. The training qualifies the technicians to run more than 200 separate systems and remote operations software for the plant’s Low-Activity Waste Facility, Analytical Laboratory, and 14 other support facilities needed to prepare for and conduct operations to treat Hanford tank waste using the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste approach. In total, approximately 140 technicians have completed systems training.
