Brick & Mortar Ventures announces first VC funding round from institutional backers, including some of the biggest companies in construction technology.

The laboratory is the first major Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant facility to complete systems turnover work.

Crews have turned over four more Vit Plant buildings at the Hanford Nuclear Waste Site in southeast Washington to startup testing.

The Washington State Dept. of Ecology granted permits needed for the Vit Plant's plan to turn waste into vitrified glass and finish building an Effluent Management Facility.

Peak construction at the first new U.S. nuclear plant in 30 years will happen later this year, and the project will need 8,500 workers on site.
