Vit plant construction progresses By Annette Cary
Over the past 33 years, ironworker Ed Smith of Walla Walla has worked on projects from the Alaska pipeline to a San Francisco high-rise.
But, he said, among the most interesting jobs he's had is the one he's been working on for the last five months.
Wednesday, he was welding iron on the largest construction project in the nation this year, Hanford's waste vitrification plant.
'It gives us the opportunity to do the best we can,' he said. 'They want quality work.'
The vit plant is being built to treat highly radioactive waste generated from producing plutonium at Hanford from 1944 to 1989. It's been sitting in underground tanks that were intended for temporary use.------------------------------------------- posted 6:47 AM :: reference link ::
