RICHLAND, Wash. — New chemical technologists at the Hanford Site’s 222-S Laboratory, operated by contractor Navarro-ATL, are engaged in a four-month education program. It focuses on learning the importance of safety and compliance when analyzing the physical and chemical characteristics of waste samples. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management and its contractor partners rely on the analysis to safely manage tank waste and to prepare to treat the waste through the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste Program. Experienced chemical technologists provide daily individual and small-group training on the job. This hands-on training is followed by a mid-course and final evaluation for the new personnel to demonstrate they have the skills and knowledge required to support the mission.
