Five companies land DOE agreements for low-level waste

Five companies were picked this week by the Department of Energy’s nuclear cleanup office to receive basic ordering agreements to handle nationwide low-level and mixed low-level commercial waste treatment services.

The companies announced Thursday by DOE’s Office of Environmental Management are:

EnergySolutions of Salt Lake City, Utah;

NAC Philotechnics Ltd. of Oak Ridge, Tenn.;

Perma-Fix Environmental Services of Atlanta;

Veolia Nuclear Solutions Federal Services of Piketon, Ohio; and

Waste Control Specialists of Dallas, Texas.

Authorized users of these five-year ordering agreements include all DOE offices, such as Environmental Management, the National Nuclear Security Administration, DOE laboratories and project offices. Authorized users also include any DOE prime contractor and subcontractor to a DOE prime contractor doing environmental work for DOE, according to the Thursday press release.

The value of each assignment will be decided at the task-order level, DOE said in the release.
