Washington River Protection Solutions is honored to accept the DOE Voluntary Protection Programs’ Legacy of Stars award for the second time. The award recognizes a company that excels in outreach, mentoring and ongoing excellence in worker safety and health. The award is given to organizations that have earned the VPP Star of Excellence for three consecutive years.
What’s cooler than being cool? Cold spray! Two of our engineering groups and a field team recently got together with vendors for a cold spray project demonstration at the Hanford Site Cold Test Facility. The demos have shown the technology’s potential as a method for refurbishing double-shell tanks. The work also highlights the cool collaboration that helps move the tank waste mission forward!

“Some of the best parts about what we do are getting to work away from a desk and meeting new people. It’s also great learning about native plant and animal species while helping preserve and restore the environment.”![]()
