HAMMER is a Federal Training Center owned by the US Department of Energy (DOE) making it convenient for other Federal agencies to do business with us! Other government agencies and private businesses not associated with Hanford have the opportunity to use HAMMER through the DOE Strategic Partnership Projects program.
Payment mechanisms are in place and are accomplished through MIPRs, IAAs, checks, and credit cards, among others. Established parameters are in place to obtain use of our facilities and its services.
The key steps in the process involve:
