Demolition of Plutonium Vaults
DOE and contractor CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company began demolishin a vault complex in Hanford's Plutonium Finishing Plant the week of November 14, 2011. The vault once held stores of plutonium metal that was produced at Hanford for the U.S. nuclear weapons program. The vault complex is part of Hanford's Plutonium Finishing PLant, which once consisted of more than 60 facilities and produced nearly two-thirds of the nation's supply of plutonium during the Cold War.
