Business Wire
BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) is pleased to announce an
award from the U.S. Department of Energy for cleanup operations at
the West Valley Demonstration Project in West Valley, New York.
The Phase 1B contract was awarded to West Valley Cleanup
Alliance, LLC (WVCA), which is a joint venture led by BWXT
Technical Services Group, Inc. and includes Jacobs Technology, Inc.
and Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. WVCA also includes teaming
subcontractors Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. and North
Wind Portage, Inc.
The IDIQ contract has a 10-year ordering period with a maximum
value of up to $3.0 billion that can be performed for up to 15
years.
Under the contract, WVCA will continue the current cleanup
mission to include, but not be limited to, the demolition of
remaining near- and below-grade components of the main plant
process building; additional facility deactivation and demolition;
contaminated soils remediation and disposition; waste management
and legacy waste disposition; safeguards and security;
environmental monitoring; surveillance and maintenance; and program
support activities.
“BWXT has played an important role in D&D at West Valley
since August 2011 as a member of the current cleanup contractor.
Having personally worked at the site several years ago, I’m
especially pleased to continue our collaboration with the customer
and the community on this important effort,” said Heatherly Dukes,
president of BWXT Technical Services Group. “While we have made
significant progress, there remains more to do under this phase of
the project, and we’re looking forward to continuing the successful
cleanup in the years to come.”
The West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) is an approximately
150-acre area located 35 miles south of Buffalo, New York. The site
is owned by the New York State Energy Research and Development
Authority and is home to the only commercial spent nuclear fuel
reprocessing facility to operate in the United States. Operating
from 1963 to 1972, the site processed 640 metric tons of spent
nuclear fuel and generated over 600,000 gallons of liquid
high-level waste. In 1980, Congress passed the WVDP Act, which
required the Department of Energy to conduct a high-level waste
management demonstration project at the site and transport it to a
federal repository for disposal.
