New technology shows promise in reducing working exposure at the @Hanford Site . It’s called RadSat II, and it allows technicians to remotely monitor radiological levels during processing of radiological and chemical tank waste. It replaces a monitoring system that was obsolete and eliminates the need for workers to enter the processing area to measure dose rates using hand-held instruments.
There’s no time for downtime! The 242-A Evaporator at the Hanford Site is getting some upgrades and preventative maintenance. Meanwhile, shift operators are taking part in a series of trainings to familiarize them with the full scope of what the plant does, the responsibilities each shift has, and any changes that might have been made from previous Evaporator campaigns.
