Abstract
For the past 13 years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has managed the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project in Utah. As DOE designed and constructed tailings-removal and disposal systems, and now relocates the 14 million tonnes of uranium mill tailings away from the Colorado River, DOE has continued to place its highest priority on workplace safety. The project is ahead of the schedule and below the cost at completion, based on the approved lifecycle estimate.
