RICHLAND, Wash. — New and returning members of the Hanford Advisory Board (HAB) recently toured several Hanford Site facilities, including a full-size mock-up of a single-shell waste-storage tank at the site’s Cold Test Facility. The full-day tour also included stops at the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant, Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility and Integrated Disposal Facility. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board, which is made up of eight local boards including the HAB, celebrated its 30th anniversary earlier this year. HAB members provide consensus-based, policy-level recommendations on Hanford’s cleanup mission to the Tri-Party Agreement agencies — the Department of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Washington State Department of Ecology.
