In support of the Hanford cleanup mission, ATL is to perform the Analytical Services production functions of receiving, handling, analyzing, storing samples, performing special tests and reporting the results of these analyses and tests to the contractors of Department of Energy Offices at the Hanford Nuclear Site near Richland, Washington. These functions are to be performed through a contract with the DOE Office of River Protection. The analytical services will be performed at the 222-S Laboratory complex located in the 200 West Area of Hanford.
ATL provides these analytical chemistry production services for the Hanford Site projects, operations, and environmental cleanup activities in support of the Hanford Site environmental cleanup and restoration activities. These services support cleanup and closure of the Hanford site and are a critical activity in achieving closure goals of all Hanford projects. This scope may also include other DOE work supporting scientific research and other DOE sites.

ATL is required to annually perform approximately 25,000 inorganic, organic and radionuclide analyses. The analyses will be performed on approximately 3000 intermediate to high level radioactive and/or hazardous samples received from multiple locations and entities on the Hanford site. Samples received may be 300 Rad/hr, with a significant part of that from gamma radiation.
