Hanford Contractor Beats DOE Expectations on Waste-Filled Buried Pipes

摘要

Washington Closure Hanford has exceeded expectations, finishing its contract by chewing through 80 waste-filled, vertically buried pipes just north of Richland on the Hanford nuclear reservation. Work on the landfill, considered among Hanford's most hazardous, had been scheduled as one of the last environmental cleanup tasks along the Columbia River. It's the final high-hazard project undertaken by Washington Closure before its DOE contract expires at the September's end after 11 years.
