New hires train to become certified Health Physics Technicians, who help keep coworkers safe from radiological contamination. Recovery Act funding at Hanford's tank farms helped create nearly 600 jobs at the peak of employment in autumn 2010.
New hires train to become certified Health Physics Technicians, who help keep coworkers safe from radiological contamination. Recovery Act funding at Hanford's tank farms helped create nearly 600 jobs at the peak of employment in autumn 2010.
WRPS received $326 in Recovery Act funding to upgrade tank farm infrastructure, extend the life of critical nuclear operating facilities and prepare for Waste Treatment Plant operation.
Crews worked diligently to decontaminate the condenser room at Hanford's 242-A Evaporator, wiping down five floors of walls and equipment. Workers used cloths and vacuums equipped with HEPA filters to remove contaminated dust. The project is one of several Recovery Act upgrades that improves worker safety and efficiency at the facility.

Crews have completed a Recovery Act-funded project to remove three underground transfer line cleanout boxes from the Hanford tank farms that are no longer needed.

Workers use an aerial lift to install a new Recovery Act-funded corrosion probe into one of Hanford's double-shell tanks. A corrosion probe is a 50-foot piece of pipe containing sensors to provide a real-time measurment of tank waste chemistry and tank corrosion monitoring as an added level of protection to the environment.
