Perma-Fix wins Hanford nuclear waste treatment subcontract
Contract awarded to Perma-Fix for nuclear waste treatment at U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Washington state.
Perma-Fix Environmental Services has secured a subcontract to support nuclear waste treatment operations at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Washington state.
The subcontract, awarded by a prime contractor, involves the treatment and stabilization of radioactive and hazardous waste stored at the Hanford facility. The Hanford Site, a decommissioned nuclear production complex, contains approximately 56 million gallons of radioactive waste in underground tanks, requiring long-term cleanup efforts.
Financial terms of the subcontract were not disclosed. Perma-Fix, a provider of nuclear and hazardous waste treatment services, will contribute to ongoing remediation projects aimed at reducing environmental risks associated with the site's legacy waste.
The Hanford Site has been a focal point of federal cleanup initiatives since the 1980s, with multiple contractors involved in waste processing, storage and disposal. The latest subcontract underscores the continued demand for specialized nuclear waste management services in the U.S. energy sector.
