EM is reducing radiological exposure, reducing costs and minimizing facility downtime at the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) at the Savannah River Site (SRS) by using existing facilities to rebuild critical equipment onsite.
The previous EM Savannah River Site (SRS) liquid waste contractor, Savannah River Remediation (SRR), recently earned an overall “excellent” performance rating and nearly $16 million or 95.5% of the available fee.
Advancements in technology research and development (R&D) enable EM to continue making steady progress in cleaning up sites in communities that supported U.S. defense efforts over the decades, EM Senior Advisor William “Ike” White told Congress on July 13
The Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant becomes operational and is transforming radiological and chemical tank waste into immobilized glass, a team will periodically replace various parts of the treatment system during routine maintenance.
The Idaho National Laboratory Site continues to make progress toward the start of radiological operations at the plant that will treat roughly 900,000 gallons of liquid waste,
EM Office of River Protection (ORP) tank operations contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) recently resumed processing high-level tank waste through the Tank-Side Cesium Removal System at the Hanford Site following a maintenance outage.
EM is on track for success in meeting most of its priority goals for 2022, including a handful that already have been completed.
