Vapor monitoring & Detection System

(VMDS)

An enhanced vapor monitoring and detection system (VMDS) is being developed to detect and monitor vapor emissions and potential exposures experienced in the Hanford tank farms

Below please find the current list of all the items related to VMDS and the pilot scale testing program available on this website.
