Oak Ridge cleanup contractor URS CH2M Oak Ridge, LLC, this week appointed Matt Marston as its new chief operating officer. Marston was previously UCOR’s deputy area project manager for the Deactivation and Decommissioning Group, and joined UCOR in September 2011. He is taking over for Kenneth Rueter, who started this week as the new president and project manager at Savannah River Remediation. “Matt was selected for this position because of the exceptional work he has done on our D&D projects and the vast knowledge he brought to UCOR,” UCOR President Leo Sain said in a statement. “I’m certain his D&D experience will help him continue his excellent performance in this new role as we work to safely and cost-efficiently clean up ETTP and other sites in Oak Ridge.”
