The top boss from the Department of Energy’s former prime contractor at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico is now a project manager with the Amentum-led environmental remediation contractor at the Oak Ridge Site in Tennessee, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Sean Dunagan was president and project manager of Amentum-led Nuclear Waste Partnership for about four years, until this February when the DOE contractor for the underground waste repository near Carlsbad, N.M., was replaced by a Bechtel affiliate.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Dunagan is now a senior project manager with Amentum-led United Cleanup Oak Ridge.
A UCOR spokesperson said Monday that Dunagan would be working with “critical projects” at Oak Ridge, such as the Environmental Management Disposal Facility landfill and the Outfall-200 Mercury Treatment plant. The landfill has received its major federal and state approvals and the mercury treatment plant is already under construction.
Prior to the management job at Nuclear Waste Partnership, which also included BWX Technologies, Dunagan spent 16 years working at Sandia National Laboratories, according to his LinkedIn profile.
