Waste Control Specialists next week will open a satellite office in Los Alamos, New Mexico, near the Los Alamos National Laboratory in order to “better support the cleanup mission of the U.S. Department of Energy,” the company said in a release. The company said it will use the office to “provide waste management and logistics support to the LANL low-level radioactive waste cleanup mission, which may include storage, treatment, and disposal.” WCS President Rod Baltzer said in a statement that the company’s federal waste disposal facility is expected to be ready to accept LLRW for disposal from DOE facilities in the first quarter of 2012.
