Our UCOR team at the Transuranic Waste Processing Center is making improvements to support important cleanup work. They’re updating an unused part of the facility to create extra space for current and future waste processing activities. The project began in late February and is expected to wrap up by mid September. Want to see how it’s going? Check out the video: https://youtu.be/Kzsuo881oFg

We want to give a huge shout-out to our dedicated UCOR Landfill Operations team! 👏

While many of us enjoyed the holiday weekend, our crews worked round-the-clock to manage heavy rainfall. Thanks to their careful planning before the storms, our team kept operations running smoothly at both local landfills with minimal impact.

Our teams prepared by emptying leachate tanks, fueling equipment, and securing waste areas. When the storm dropped over 3.5 inches of rain, our prepared systems and quick-responding crews handled millions of gallons of water safely and efficiently.

We are proud of our team's commitment to keeping our operations safe and reliable in any weather!

Big news from Oak Ridge! 🎉 Our amazing UCOR crews just wrapped up a huge cleanup job for the Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) at the Y-12 National Security Complex. We successfully removed 81 million pounds of old building materials from the demolished Alpha-2 facility – getting rid of 3,500 truckloads of rubble!

What does this mean for Oak Ridge? We've cleared a 2.5-acres of space and are now getting it prepared for important national security infrastructure, helping to modernize the Y-12 site. Demolition wasn’t supposed to wrap up till 2027, and now we are no longer demolishing the building or shipping its waste, we are restoring its former footprint.

This hard work and dedication even earned the Alpha-2 cleanup the Project of the Year Award from The Association of Union Constructors!

We're not stopping there! Next, we'll be safely handling 800,000 pounds of lead removed from the building, and then we'll start tearing down another historical building, Beta-1, this summer.

Big news from Oak Ridge! Our UCOR team has come up with a brilliant idea that's making cleanup faster and saving taxpayers money at ORNL’s former Radio Isotope Development Lab. We've designed a new attachment for our robotic equipment that lets it scoop up a lot of waste at once, instead of just one piece at a time. This helps us clean up the final "hot cell" more quickly and safely. Clint Wolfley, a Senior Vice President at UCOR, shared that "This simple innovation has helped to accelerate cleanup inside the cell with more efficient debris removal while safeguarding our employees from exposure." This smart tool will also help with other projects in the future! We're proud of our team's ingenuity and commitment to safe and efficient cleanup!
