Nuclear services firm EnergySolutions said Tuesday it has hired a former Fluor executive to manage its reactor decontamination and decommissioning business line.
As senior vice president of reactor D&D business development and commercial strategy, Mike Lackey “is responsible for development and execution of Win-Win strategies to secure new commercial D&D projects,” according to his LinkedIn profile. “His team is responsible for developing project specific, high confidence execution strategies by integrating Energy Solutions diverse capabilities with the strengths of strategic partners and supply-chain teammates.”
Lackey worked for Fluor for more than 15 years, including as a vice president for the company’s former contract for remediation of the Central Plateau at the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site in Washington state. His last role before leaving in December 2018 was vice president of nuclear operations in Fluor’s nuclear business branch.
In a 35-year career in the nuclear industry, Lackey also served as general manager for the now-decommissioned Trojan Nuclear Plant in Oregon.
The senior VP position is new at EnergySolutions, a company spokesman said Tuesday. Lackey started on April 29.
Salt Lake City-based EnergySolutions announced last week that it had been hired to support decommissioning of the Omaha Public Power District’s retired Fort Calhoun Station nuclear power plant in Nebraska. The company in April completed on-site cleanup for DOE of the Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor in Arkansas and is the decommissioning prime for nuclear power plants in California, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
