MONTREAL, Dec. 16, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Atkins Nuclear
Secured Holdings Corporation, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group's
(TSX: SNC) nuclear sector, is pleased to announce that Central
Plateau Cleanup Company LLC (CPC Co), an AECOM-led joint venture
with Atkins and Fluor, has been selected for the Central Plateau
Cleanup Contract at the Hanford Site near Richland, Washington, from the Department of
Energy (DOE). The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)
contract is valued at $10 billion
over 10 years. This nuclear services contract is within SNCL
Engineering Services, the cornerstone of our strategy moving
forward to greater growth and profitability.
The Central Plateau Cleanup Contract will achieve end state
closure of facilities, waste burial sites, and groundwater
remediation in the river corridor of the Hanford Reservation along
the Columbia River. The scope will also include decommissioning and
dismantlement of several legacy facilities on the Central Plateau
of the Hanford Reservation. CPC Co will manage waste disposition
activities for the on-site disposal facility as well as off-site
disposal operations.
"We are pleased that the DOE sees the value in our team to
safely execute cleanup work at Hanford," said Tom Jouvanis, President, Atkins Nuclear Secured.
"We look forward to continue our work to reduce the environmental
risk for the Tri-City communities in Washington State."
The CPC Co brings the depth and breadth of three leading nuclear
industry companies – AECOM, Atkins and Fluor – making it the single
largest and most experienced nuclear end state delivery team
assembled in the DOE complex. Within the 179 years of combined
nuclear experience, including 63 years at Hanford, the three
companies have collectively decommissioned 1,179 facilities and
dispositioned more waste than any other American company.
