Summary[edit]

Description

Decontamination and decommissioning workers enter a tent surrounding the heat exchanger in the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II facility.

For the first time in history, workers at the Idaho site achieved success in the initial cleanup of potentially dangerous sodium in a decommissioned nuclear reactor using an innovative treatment process.

With the help of technology development funds provided by Environmental Management’s Office of Deactivation & Demolition and Facility Engineering, the project developed a citric acid solution that reacts calmly with the sodium, preventing harm to workers. The American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act invested $70 million in the project.
