Innovative cost savings, demolition prep featured in Energycast

The June episode of Energycast features a discussion with UCOR employees who designed a simple tool that is accelerating cleanup at one of the most contaminated structures at ORNL and saving half a million dollars. Viewers are taken into the field to see what’s involved in preparing former research labs and nuclear facilities for safe demolition. Progress updates are provided on deactivation and waste processing projects underway. Finally, the episode spotlights the National Transuranic Program User Group Summit that took place in Oak Ridge earlier this month. The annual meeting brings together teams from across the country who are responsible for preparing and shipping transuranic waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
