Work crews for an Amentum-led joint venture have taken down a 37,000-square-foot office building at the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site in Washington state.
The 4710 Building, as it was known, provided offices for managers and staff for the former Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF), which was a test reactor used for nuclear research, DOE said in a Nov. 18 news release. The 400-megawatt sodium-cooled reactor operated from 1982 through 1992, DOE said. The reactor was deactivated in 2003.
Workers disconnected the 4710 administrative building’s electricity and utilities in fiscal 2023, according to a DOE document.
An Amentum-led contractor, Central Plateau Cleanup, took down the office building, DOE’s Office of Environmental Management said in the release.
