Work in progress
At the Western Waste Management Facility (WWMF), work continues on upgrading our incinerator, a project we started in late March. Think of this as WWMFâs mini-refurbishment. The incinerator is a smaller machine than a reactor, of course, but itâs vital to our good stewardship of nuclear by-products, helping to reduce the volume of low-level materials by up to 90%. Thatâs important to our environmental practice of minimizing stored volumes, and maximizing the re-use and recycling of clean materials. Weâre on track to complete the planned 74-day outage in the coming month, as we finishing installing new components and then test them, before resuming normal operations.
