RICHLAND, Wash. - Crews finished replacing the roof of a Hanford canyon facility from the plutonium production era known as REDOX (Reduction Oxidation Plant) this month. The work keeps the structure intact while EM awaits a future cleanup path for the canyon.
“This significantly reduces water intrusion and the potential for the spread of contamination in the facility," said Doug Shoop, manager of EM’s Richland Operations Office. “Proper maintenance on aging Hanford structures is necessary to protect workers and the environment."
