Congratulations to our team at the Hanford Vit Plant on successfully completing the first test glass pour from Melter 2! This glass was safely poured into a stainless-steel container that's specially designed to hold vitrified radioactive and chemical waste.   Earlier this year, the #Bechtel team at the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) heated Melter 2 – the second of two of the world's largest nuclear waste melters – to 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit. From there, we added 30,000 pounds of frit to form molten test glass, which will eventually hold treated radioactive waste for safe storage. 🔥🧪   This achievement marks an important step as WTP prepares to transform legacy radioactive and chemical tank waste that dates back to World War II and the Cold War, into a vitrified glass form for safe and secure disposal.   Thank you to the entire #Bechtel team for making this milestone and this historic project, possible! #ToTheExtraordinary

We are excited to share that we have had another historic week at the Vit Plant. Our team poured molten clean test glass into a container from Melter 2 for the first time. This melter milestone was accomplished by our entire team – from engineers and operators at the plant, to our support functions, our Department of Energy partner, and our suppliers. Thank you to each one of our team members for making this achievement possible! Next up: our operators will continue making incremental pours to build their proficiency over the next few months.

When I got two options to work on Hanford site or Yucca Mountain, I decided to join Yucca Mountain, which was abandoned after several months!

I was part of the team that wrote/tested the software and brought the computer hardware system online about 7 years ago. Congratulations to the process control engineering group for their perseverance and dedication to this monumental task. Great job!
