A team led by BWX Technologies Inc. has won a protested U.S. Energy Dept. megacontract at its Hanford former nuclear weapons site in Washington state that now combines major missions—which had been in separate contracts—to manage 56 million gallons of radioactive and chemical waste stored there
and to operate a new plant that will begin to turn the material into glass for final
disposal.
The award, worth up to $45 billion over 10 years, went to Hanford Tank Waste Operations and Closure LLC, a Lynchburg, Va., limited liability company that also includes units of Fluor Corp. and Amentum. Subcontractors to the team are DBD Inc., DSS Sustainable Solutions USA Inc., INTERA Inc., and Longenecker & Associates.
