Idaho Cleanup Project 2007 Video Highlights

The Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP) involves the safe, environmental cleanup of the Idaho National Laboratory site, which has been contaminated with waste generated from World War II-era conventional weapons testing, government-owned research and defense reactors, laboratory research, and defense missions at other U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites. The 7-year, $2.9 billion cleanup project, funded through the DOE's Office of Environmental Management, focuses equally on reducing risks to workers, the public, and the environment and on protecting the Snake River Plain Aquifer.

Fiscal year '07, which ended in September 2007, was particularly productive.
• First Shipment of Remote-Handled Transuranic waste out of Idaho
• Grouted 11 of 15 high-level waste tanks
• Completed treatment and disposal of V-Tanks in a licensed facility designed for cleanup waste
• Retrieved, packaged and shipped buried waste from the Advanced Retrieval Project to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico.
• Decontaminated, decommissioned, and demolished several high-risk facilities and permanently disposed of a 50-year-old reactor vessel and explosive demolition of the "Hotshop" at Test Area North.
