Financially troubled IMPACT Services, Inc. will shut its doors this week, RW Monitor has learned. “We were notified by several different licensees that IMPACT will shut its doors on Friday,” Meg Lockhart with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation told RW Monitor yesterday. “We have staff on-site now. IMPACT does have some staff, including a Radiation Safety Officer, there. The material is secure and the company is trying to determine what its options are going forward.” Calls to several company officials were not returned. IMPACT Services did work for Department of Energy contractors and nuclear utilities around the country. The company has at least two facilities in Oak Ridge—a waste processing operation at the far northwest corner of the former K-25 uranium enrichment site and the Secure Support Facility in Horizon Center.
The company last year was taken to court several times for unpaid debts, including $125,000 owed to Babcock Services for work done at Indian Point Turbine Shell Demolition project. In addition to the Babcock suit, ADT Security Services, Inc. filed a lawsuit against IMPACT in early 2011, requesting payment on more than $200,000 worth of “burglary and fire alarm supplies and equipment” purchased in May 2010.
