Our radiochemical processing laboratory just north of the city of Richland, in southeastern Washington State is a 144,092ft2 building with 35,000ft2 of laboratory space and more than 8,000ft2of hot cell space in a security-protected area. The laboratory was designed and is operated as a DOE Hazard Category 2 facility for work with microgram to kilogram quantities of fissionable and nonfissionable radioactive materials ranging from picocurie to megacurie levels of activity. The facility contains extensive wet laboratories, shielded glove boxes, wet radiochemistry fume hoods, and associated equipment for conducting radiochemical separations, radioanalytical measurements, radioactive materials characterization, and radioactive and hazardous waste management.
