A weather enclosure stands above the waste storage area built on Fort Greely, Alaska, to support the decommissioning and dismantlement of the SM-1A nuclear power plant, November 4, 2025. The two weather enclosures erected for the project (one at the waste storage area and the other over the remaining project site), were constructed to enable safe work year-round, even during winter. After waste is placed in intermodal containers (largely consisting of waste typical of industrial facility demolition), it is temporarily staged at this storage area prior to shipment to a secure disposal facility in Texas. The Baltimore District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is home to the USACE Radiological Health Physics Regional Center of Expertise, which provides radiation safety and technical support to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies at home and abroad and began the decommissioning and dismantlement of SM-1A in 2024.
