Preparing to Enter One of Hanford's Most Hazardous Rooms

Equipment never before used on the Hanford Site will improve safety for workers of U.S. Department of Energy contractor CH2M HILL as they enter one of the Site's most hazardous and historic rooms and prepare it for demolition. Building 242-Z, nicknamed the "McCluskey Room" after a 1976 explosion that injured worker Harold McCluskey, is part of the Plutonium Finishing Plant that is being removed to reduce risk on the Hanford Site.
