Nuclear reservation treating more groundwater than ever
A nuclear reservation in Hanford, Wash. has been treating groundwater at a record pace, according to KUOW.
Just in the month of November the pumping stations have produced a record 100 million gallons of treated groundwater, which would fill more than 150 Olympic-size swimming pools, stated the article.
“We've been able to introduce new resins, we've upgraded previous systems and now we're building new ones,” said Dee Millikin, the spokeswoman for Hanford contractor CH2M HILL. “So, all of those will be able to find efficiencies that will reduce lifetime operations costs.”
