About Us

Overview

Washington River Protection Solutions is eliminating the environmental risk posed by the 56 million gallons of radioactive and chemical waste stored in 177 underground tanks near the center of the 586 square-mile Hanford Site.   We are safely transfering waste from aging single-shell tanks into into newer double-shell tanks where it will be safely managed until it is prepared for disposal.  Our commitment includes doing our job safely, with a strong focus on innovation, employee involvement and environmental protection.

Washington River Protection Solutions is a limited liability corporation (LLC) owned by URS Corporation and Energy Solutions, with AREVA as our primary subcontractor.  Between us we have decades of experience which we bring to this job, which is considered one of the most complex cleanup projects in the nation.

We have a commitment to support programs and projects that advance educational and economic development opportunities in the region as well as those that enhance the quality of life.  The future of the Tri-Cities area is bright, and we’re excited to be involved and help it grow to realize its full potential.
