Fluor Corporation announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected Hanford Works Restoration, LLC (HWR), a joint venture between a subsidiary of BWX Technologies, Inc. and Fluor, to lead the Tank Closure Contract at the DOE’s Hanford Site. The team includes two pre-selected small businesses, DBD and INTERA, which provide specialized modeling and regulatory expertise, respectively. The contract is valued at up to approximately USD 13bn over a 10-year period.
HWR has been selected to provide services for the transition from the current tank operations contract to the tank closure contract. The services include the operations and maintenance of the single-shell and double-shell tank farms including volume management and secondary waste treatment facilities; the completion of construction and operations and maintenance of equipment necessary to pretreat and feed low-level waste to the low-activity waste verification facility, and single-shell tank waste remediation and closure to support the Hanford Site environmental cleanup.
