Bechtel National expects the Hanford vitrification plant construction site to have full power restored this morning.
Construction was stopped at the Waste Treatment Plant campus Monday and Tuesday because of a power outage, but workers were expected to return today.
Although progress was being made Tuesday to restore power, workers still were advised to call the employee hotline at 373-3333 before leaving for work this morning.
The power outage affected about 1,400 workers, but only the construction crews did not report to work Tuesday. Engineers and professionals were assigned to work or training in town.
The cause of the outage still was being investigated Tuesday. The problem occurred on the vit plant campus after the Mission Support Alliance, which manages Hanford utilities for the Department of Energy, had delivered power to the campus.
