N3B began construction over the weekend of berms that will control storm water in and around #LosAlamos National Laboratory. The berms are located in areas where the historical disposal of solid waste is known or suspected, and that have the potential to...

N3B transitioned to Phase Two of our Resumption of Operations plan this week and we’re excited to ramp up #environmental remediation field operations! Operations include additional soil sampling to further ensure former #LosAlamos National Laboratory sites where the historical...

This crew’s now fully qualified to assist in our mission of safely moving radiological waste offsite. After completing the Radiological Control Technicians Bootcamp last winter — a joint initiative between N3B and University of New Mexico–Los Alamos — these guys passed their oral boards last...

Our crews are following COVID-safe practices while monitoring #groundwater in areas affected or potentially affected by historic operations at LANL. Field crews collect samples at wells which are then analyzed for specific constituents. In addition to monitoring water quality, our team collects...

Last month, N3B sent four shipments with more than 15 cubic meters of legacy transuranic (TRU) waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad. WIPP is a radioactive waste repository where defense-generated TRU waste gets stored 2,150 feet underground in an ancient salt...

Now that N3B is in Phase One of our Resumption of Operations plan, construction of the well pad at #groundwater monitoring well R-72 has resumed. This well will be part of N3B’s campaign to further characterize and control migration of the chromium...

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Mountain Region, a nonprofit mentorship program that serves Northern New Mexico, and that N3B supports through our Community Commitment Program, needs additional adult mentors to support #youth experiencing the challenges of social distancing, school closings and stress...

Next week, STEM Santa Fe, a nonprofit organization that N3B supports through our Community Commitment Program, is offering its final virtual summer camp, DNA Detectives, for students entering grades 7-12. Students will use DNA analysis to solve real-life mysteries, like which animal bit the camper...
