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!
