Petersen Inc. delivers massive melter assemblies to the Hanford Waste Treatment Plant

摘要

The U.S. Department of Energy's, Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP), being constructed at DOE's Hanford site, located in southeastern Washington state, will be the world's largest radioactive waste treatment plant. The $12.2 billion facility, also known as the "Vit Plant," will immobilize the radioactive liquid waste currently stored in Hanford's 177 underground tanks using a process called "vitrification" through melter assemblies manufactured by Petersen Inc. in Ogden, Utah.
