Workers from the Central Plateau Clean-up Company (CPC Co), contracted by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Management (EM) Office, have constructed a protective enclosure, or cocoon, over the former K East Reactor building at the Hanford Site near Richland, Washington. The cocoon is designed to protect the reactor building while the radioactivity in the deactivated reactor core decays over the next several decades, making it safer to complete disposition of the reactor in the future.
