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.

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.
