EM’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant moved a step closer to completing a milestone when employees began filling the last disposal room in Panel 7 in the underground repository with transuranic waste.
A subject matter expert on underground ventilation at the nation's only deep geologic repository has been recognized by the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration for his work to improve miner safety.
More than two decades after receiving its first transuranic (TRU) waste shipment, EM’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is undergoing major upgrades necessary to continue its mission for decades to come.
EM recently installed equipment at the Savannah River Site (SRS) that ensures continued safe shipment of transuranic (TRU) waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) for disposal.
For more than 20 years, the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP) at the DOE Idaho National Laboratory Site has sent shipments of defense transuranic (TRU) waste for disposal to EM’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico.
EM’s WIPP laboratories were recently notified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology that their latest round of sample testing data meets stringent criteria established to operate under the DOE Laboratory Accreditation Program (DOELAP).
