Between 2000 and 2004, workers with Fluor Hanford took 2,300 tons of spent nuclear fuel from two water-filled basins attached to former production reactors, and put the fuel into dry storage. Since 2004, workers have been removing contaminated debris from the K Basins and vacuuming radioactive sludge that resulted from corrosion of the nuclear fuel. The Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State had nine reactors that produced plutonium for national defense.
