Washington Closure Hanford, LLC (WCH)
Washington Closure Hanford, LLC (WCH) was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Richland Operations Office in March 2005 to manage the River Corridor Closure Project. Washington Closure has the single purpose of safely cleaning up and closing the Columbia River corridor, an area of roughly 210 square miles along the outer edge of the Hanford Site that includes major portions of the Hanford Reach National Monument.
The work includes projects in Hanford’s 100 Area, where materials for nuclear reactors were created at nine plutonium production reactors; 300 Area, where uranium was fabricated and laboratory facilities reside; 400 Area, where facilities, except for the Fast Flux Test Facility, will be demolished; and 600 Area, where two complex and highly radioactive burial grounds – 618-10 and 618-11 – are located. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2012 and cost $1.9 billion.
