October 17 2024 - 4:15PM
Business Wire
BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) is pleased to announce that
Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure, LLC (H2C) has been
approved by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to begin the
Hanford Integrated Tank Disposition Contract (ITDC).
After being previously approved to work on pre-transition
activities, the DOE has issued H2C a notice to proceed, effective
October 21, 2024. Earlier in 2024, the DOE announced that the
contract had been awarded to H2C, which is a joint venture led by a
BWXT subsidiary and includes Amentum and Fluor companies. A protest
against this award was recently dismissed in the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims.
“We are very excited to begin working with DOE on this
incredibly important cleanup mission,” said Heatherly Dukes,
president of BWXT Technical Services Group. “H2C’s leadership team
has been deployed and brings 170 years of combined experience in
tank waste disposition and disciplined nuclear operations.”
The scope of the ITDC includes operation of Hanford tank farm
facilities, eventual operation of the Waste Treatment and
Immobilization Plant, and responsibility for other core functions
such as project management, security and emergency services,
business performance, and environment, safety, health and
quality.
