SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — August 12, 2026 — EnergySolutions has been awarded a Master IDIQ Subcontract by Hanford Tank Waste Operations and Closure (H2C), to provide offsite transportation, treatment, and commercial disposal of tank-side pretreated liquid mixed low-level waste generated at the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site.
The subcontract is one of three awarded by H2C to expand commercial capabilities for the treatment and disposition of Hanford’s tank waste and carries a maximum cumulative quantity of 50 million gallons and a maximum cumulative value of $4.37 billion among the awardees.
