West Valley Gets Stimulus Money

The West Valley Demonstration Project will get $74 million in federal stimulus funding.

This means the cleanup will be speeded up by about three years and more than 200 new jobs will be created.

The money will be used to design and build a storage system for 275 high-level nuclear waste canisters and move them out of the facility's old reprocessing building, which is scheduled for decontamination and demolition.

It will also be sued to clean up leftover liquid waste, demolish other buildings where nuclear waste was processed, and stop the flow of contaminated groundwater on the site.
