As the Hanford site integrator, Hanford Mission Integration Solutions (HMIS) plays a critical role in the Hanford cleanup mission. Using a safety-first operational mindset, our highly skilled and trained workforce is the foundation for our success.
One of the highest priorities in our One Hanford effort is the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) program to begin vitrifying (or immobilizing in glass) a portion of Hanford’s 56 million gallons of underground tank waste.
The Washington State Department of Ecology said it's seen a lot of significant progress and tremendous achievements in 35 years of cleanup alongside its Tri-Party Agreement partners at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This year will be no different.
HAB members work diligently to understand Hanford issues and to craft advice that captures the essence of their values while honoring each other’s opinions.
Years of dedicated effort led to historic achievements at the Hanford site in 2023, while also laying a firm foundation for another year of cleanup “firsts” in 2024.
