[en] This panel focused on the progression of cleanup on the Hanford Site, Washington, USA, from establishing the regulatory framework necessary for cleanup, to understanding the risks and addressing near-term hazards, to moving to 24/7 operations as cleanup focuses on tank waste treatment and co-located risk reduction efforts as the active cleanup footprint shrinks. Panelists with presentations: Hanford: Past, Present, Future (Brian Vance); Protecting the River (L. Ty Blackford); Hanford Tank Farms (John Eschenberg Jr.); The Hanford Site (Robert Wilkinson); The Hanford Site (Valerie McCain)

[en] This session was the second of three sessions that focused on the DOE Hanford Site located in Richland, Washington. The Hanford Site is the largest in the EM complex, with many interdependent programs, offices, contractors, regulators, and stakeholders that work together to drive cleanup priorities and progress. In early 2018, we recognized that the site was entering a transformational period. DOE leaders had to prepare the site for the next decade by creating a team-oriented approach, which was different from past years where projects ran independently. In 2020, not only was the site transitioning to support operations, but also transitioning to several new contracts and remobilizing the workforce due to concerns from the pandemic. The 'One Hanford' approach was a campaign aimed at increasing communication, collaboration, and teamwork to bring focus to the site's work ahead. Leaders were mindful to shift the existing culture among federal and contractor staff to prepare for an operational pace at the site not seen since the plutonium production years.
