Current DOE Mercury Remediation Estimate at Y-12 ALONE
There was a recent Battelle International Conference in Texas that most people know about. The conference is specific in its purpose of "addressing the maintenance of the economic and biological viability of the environments of rivers, lakes, bays, and harbors which require management of a complex series of actions related to accumulation in sediments of potentially hazardous contaminants." The Sediments Conference is a forum for sharing experience and progress toward this goal.
There was one particular presentation that was done by The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Richland Washington) which is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) government research laboratory. This comes from part of their presentation:
"The project is complex, technically challenging, and expensive, with a current estimated cost of $ 1B for mercury remediation at the Y-12 Complex alone ."
"Innovative methods are required to identify and control contaminant fate and transport pathways."
"Treatment technologies are being developed that will reduce the
concentration and flux of mercury from subsurface flow paths within the industrial complex to surface water."
Sounds like the MBS/M2 Polymer combined technology could be part of the equation for success at Y-12.
