CH2M HILL moved nearly 20 tons in over 8,000 containers out of PFP and performed a monumental downgrade to the facility's historic security systems.

CH2M HILL recently supported DOE’s effort to remove special nuclear material containing plutonium out of the Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP). From 1949-1989, PFP produced plutonium oxides and metals. Hanford produced nearly two-thirds of the plutonium used in the country’s nuclear weapons program. With the last of that material removed in November 2009, work at PFP is focused on decontaminating and decommissioning hundreds of pieces of equipment and preparing the PFP complex for demolition by 2016.

In April 2012, CH2M HILL completed demolition of the PFP vault complex that included approximately 20,000 square feet of facilities. Read more . . .
