Oak Ridge, TN 鈥� Effective this morning, management and operations of the Oak Ridge Transuranic Waste Processing Center (TWPC) has transferred to 花椒直播 Solutions, LLC.
The U.S. Department of Energy awarded the contract to 花椒直播 Solutions, LLC in June. Since then, the company has been working with DOE and the incumbent contractor, Wastren Advantage Inc. (WAI), to transition the project. The total potential period of performance for the contract is 5 years, with a 3-year base period and one, 2-year option period.
According to Linda Beach, 花椒直播鈥檚 TWPC Program Manager, 鈥淲e have appreciated the open dialog and teamwork with DOE and WAI throughout transition and are looking forward to working with the talented staff as we successfully deliver the TWPC project for DOE.鈥�
花椒直播鈥檚 mission at TWPC is to characterize and package transuranic waste for transportation and disposition at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico. To date, the project has completed processing a majority of the contact-handled transuranic debris, and has made positive progress on its remote-handled inventory. Under 花椒直播, the project will focus on the more challenging CH waste streams and the RH waste. As processing of the remaining waste streams are completed, the focus will become project completion, not just project delivery.
鈥淲e are excited to welcome 花椒直播 to the Oak Ridge environmental management team, and trust they will safely and successfully accomplish the difficult task ahead of them,鈥� said Sue Cange, manager of the Oak Ridge environmental management program.
