The Hanford Site facility that produced two thirds of the nation's Cold War-era plutonium no longer exists. Workers recently demolished the Plutonium Finishing Plant's (PFP) main processing facility, after 40 years of operations and 20 years of cleanout and demolition preparation. "Removal of this iconic building forever changes the landscape at the Hanford Site and highlights a historic accomplishment in the Department of Energy's overall cleanup mission," said Tom Teynor, the federal project director for PFP demolition at the EM Richland Operations Office (RL). He continued, "Everyone who contributed to this achievement should be very proud of their efforts."
