Our highest priority cleanup project at Oak Ridge Lab is also boosting isotope supplies for clinical trials of a promising new form of cancer treatment. So far, Isotek's efforts have increased the world's supply of a rare medical isotope by 1,500%. #CancerResearch energy.gov/em/articles/oa…

While crews are busy tearing down Alpha-2 at Y-12 NSC, other teams are getting the next massive structure ready for demo. UCOR workers have pumped 10 million gallons of water from the basement, and they're pouring 3,000 truckloads of cement at Beta-1. energy.gov/em/articles/cr…

We just completed the transfer of a 32-acre parcel at the East TN Technology Park to enable more economic development at the site. That brings our total to 1,832 acres. Our cleanup removed the two enrichment facilities that previously stood on this land. energy.gov/em/articles/la…

We’re thankful for employees like Shane Kilby, a waste management specialist with our contractor Isotek. Shane’s idea of how the company recycles batteries is saving taxpayers more than $10,000 annually. energy.gov/em/articles/qu…

We’ve developed a first-of-its-kind training program for workers supporting cleanup at mercury-contaminated facilities. This benefits for the work happening locally, and it also has the potential to be adapted at other sites across the country. energy.gov/em/articles/oa…
