Terry Reagan has been named Bechtel National’s chief of staff for the Waste Treatment Plant being built at the U.S. Energy Department’s Hanford Site in Washington state.
Reagan replaces Dave Norwood, who moved to another assignment with Bechtel.
Reagan joined Bechtel at Hanford in 2010 as a project controls engineer. He most recently served as the engineering, procurement, and construction resumption lead with the plant’s Pretreatment Facility. He also has worked as a construction site schedule lead planner, civil structural field engineer, and construction superintendent.
The Waste Treatment Plant will convert up to 56 million gallons of radioactive and chemical waste stored at Hanford into a solid glass form for permanent storage. Construction began in 2001, and the project is now expected to cost nearly $17 million. Treatment of low-activity waste must begin by 2023 under a federal court order, with full operations mandated no later than 2036.
