DWPF
Reaches 10-Million-Pound Mark
Ten million is a large number
by anyone’s standards. The Defense
Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) recently poured its ten millionth pound
of radioactive glass. DWPF is the largest and most productive high-level waste
glass vitrification facility in the world.
DWPF converts the high-level liquid nuclear waste currently stored at SRS into
a solid glass form suitable for long-term storage and disposal.
Scientists have long considered this glassification process, called “vitrification,” as
the preferred option for immobilizing high-level radioactive liquids
into a more stable, manageable form until a federal repository is ready.

Employees
Volunteer For United Way's Project VISION, Project SERVE
Approximately 700 SRS employees participated this year in support of United Way's
Project VISION and Project SERVE. Project VISION is a one-day volunteer initiative
to address specific housing needs of citizens in Aiken County, and Project SERVE
is a similar effort that focuses on Augusta and the Central Savannah River Area.
Local citizens volunteer through their employer to help with home repairs for
people who are unable to complete the repairs due to poor health or financial
inability. Typical jobs include clearing yard debris, painting, building wheel
chair ramps, installing smoke detectors, replacing roofs and even building a
playground for a low-income childcare center.

Partners
in Education
The United States Department of Energy Savannah River Operations Office
provides a variety of science and literacy outreach programs at the Savannah
River Site by funding and coordinating the efforts of several organizations.
These organizations include the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, Natural
Resources Management and Research Institute, and Savannah Nuclear Solutions, LLC.
The
primary goals of these outreach
programs are to enhance interest in science, mathematics, engineering
and technology and to support improvements in education in the Central
Savannah River Area by using the unique resources available at the
Site. We believe business, industry, government and the education
community must work together as partners to improve the educational
opportunities for all students in our region. |
