Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) announced today it was named part of the
winning team to execute the Plateau Remediation Contract (PRC) at the
Hanford Site in Washington State. The winning team is headed by CH2M
HILL, which will serve as the prime contractor for the Department of
Energy (DOE) with Fluor serving as a key subcontractor. The PRC is a
multi-year project focusing on the safe, environmental cleanup of the
Central Plateau of DOE’s Hanford site.
The scope of work includes treatment and disposal of various radioactive
waste streams, treatment of groundwater, management of spent nuclear
fuel, disposal of nuclear materials, demolition of non-reactor nuclear
facilities and environmental remediation activities currently funded
through DOE’s Office of Environmental
Management.
“Fluor is extremely proud to be able to
continue to have an enduring role at Hanford and the important work that
goes on there. We have a long history of accomplishments at the site as
well as playing a key role in the Tri-Cities and we look forward to
building on those successes,” said John
Hopkins, group executive with Fluor Corporation.
Since 1996, Fluor has worked as a DOE prime contractor at the Hanford
Site. Since that time, Fluor Hanford has managed several major
activities, including dismantling former nuclear processing facilities,
cleaning up the Site’s contaminated
groundwater, maintaining the site's infrastructure, and operating the
Volpentest HAMMER Training & Education Center.
