The legacy cleanup contractor at the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico won 70% of its subjective fee and 77% of its overall fee during fiscal 2022.
Newport News Nuclear BWXT (N3B) won about $7.2 million out of a potential $9.3 million for the 12-month period ended Sept. 30. The DOE Office of Environmental Management released the annual fee scorecard on Tuesday Dec. 20.
N3B earned 72% of its subjective fee and 82% of its total fee during the fiscal 2021 fiscal year.
During the most recent scorecard review period, the Office of Environmental Management at Los Alamos said N3B should concentrate on its workplace safety culture and improve its corrective action systems.
On the plus side, N3B beat its goals for transuranic waste shipments to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, DOE said in the scorecard. The contractor also exceeded its goals in small business subcontracting.
N3B’s five-year base period of the potential 10-year, $1.5-billion legacy cleanup contract ends April 29, 2023.
