- Share via
Aliso Viejo-based Fluor Corp., Tyco International Ltd. and Washington Group International Inc. won a $1.05-billion contract to help clean the site in Washington that houses nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project.
A venture made up of those companies will clean 210 square miles of the Hanford reservation, the Energy Department said. The 586-square-mile site, now a storage facility, began operations in the 1940s to make plutonium for the first atomic bomb.
Hanford is the world’s largest environmental cleanup project.
