Removing Legacy Threats

More than five decades of nuclear materials research and production led to victory in World War II and the Cold War, and drove critical scientific advancements. But it also left a complicated legacy of nuclear and chemical waste. Today, we are helping government agencies in the U.S. and the U.K. implement first-of-a-kind solutions to some of the world’s most complex environmental cleanup challenges for the benefit of future generations. Just as important, we are ensuring that waste from current-day operations is safely disposed of, so that it doesn’t become a problem for communities tomorrow.

Our teams are drawing on the experience and lessons learned from our work at more than 500 sites for commercial customers, the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the U.K. Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
