Perma-Fix Environmental Services on Tuesday said it had picked up $15 million in new contracts with the Department of Energy and other customers, for nuclear services including demolition and radiological cleanup.
The projects cover 18 months of work, both in Canada and the United States, according to a press release. The Atlanta-based nuclear services provider did not discuss further specifics of the work to be performed or the specific number of contracts. A spokesperson did not respond to a query by deadline Wednesday for Weapons Complex Morning Briefing.
“These wins leverage our experience in complex radiological contamination remediation and recovery efforts while applying new technologies to reduce cost and schedule durations,” President and CEO Mark Duff said in the release. “The new contracts include additional scope in Canada as well as new opportunities in the Department of Defense (“DOD”) and the Department of Energy (“DOE”) focusing on demolition and remediation in radiological environments with direct potential for additional expansion as the projects evolve.”
Perma-Fix’s nuclear services include decommissioning, remediation of radiological and hazardous contaminants, and consulting on management of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM).
Waste generated by the contracted operations could also be directed to Perma-Fix’s treatment business, further strengthening that segment, Duff stated.
