Stoller Newport News Nuclear (SN3) President Nick Lombardo has been tapped to lead the management team for the joint venture recently awarded the $1.39 billion legacy cleanup contract at the Energy Department’s Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
Lombardo will serve as program manager for Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos, which will be responsible for protecting an important regional aquifer and remediation of contaminated legacy waste sites in and around the laboratory site, as well as decontamination, decommissioning, and demolition of structures.
The Stoller Newport News Nuclear-BWX Technologies (N3B) team said last week it had received the green light from DOE to begin its 90-day transition period at Los Alamos.
In an email statement, Stoller spokesperson Beci Brenton provided the names of the management team for the SN3-BWXT joint venture.
In addition to Lombardo, other members of the management team are: Regulatory and Stakeholder Interface Manager Frazer Lockhart; Environmental Remediation Program Manager Joe Legare; Contact-Handled TRU Waste Program Manager Danny Nichols; Quality Assurance and Transformation Manager Gary Pool; Environment, Safety and Health Manager Elizabeth Lowes; Engineering and Nuclear Safety Manager Glenn Morgan; Business Manager Glenn Kizer; and Planning and Integration Manager Adam Barras.
At least half of that management team also appears to come from Stoller.
Roughly 400 people will be required for the Los Alamos Legacy Cleanup Contract, consisting of Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos employees and subcontractor personnel, Brenton said. It is unknown exactly how many of those are coming over from the current contractor, Los Alamos National Security (LANS).
The hiring process is spelled out in the contract and N3B is very early in the transition process, the spokesperson said.
The Stoller-BWXT partnership won the contract in December over two other bidding teams.
The contract changeover will lead into a base contract period of five years and subsequent options of three years and two years, according to Stoller parent Huntington Ingalls.
