Inactive underground tanks at Hanford Site pose radioactive and hazardous risks.

Fuel Transportation

The U.S. Department of Energy is working on cleaning up radioactive waste at the Hanford Site. They are building facilities to treat the waste and reduce risks to workers and the environment. The goal is to have most of the waste treated by 2028. They are also figuring out how to safely dispose of the waste. The plan includes completing the waste treatment facilities, matching waste hazards to disposal methods, and reducing risks in the tank farms.
