An Eielson Air Force Base contractor has excavated about a thousand tons of soil from a site in Salcha contaminated by more than 700 gallons of jet fuel.

Demolition will begin next month on an old outbuilding near the mothballed nuclear power plant on Fort Greely that was shut down more than 50 years ago. Dismantling work on the plant itself is expected to begin in the fall of 2025.
