Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) announced today that the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) selected Fluor Idaho, LLC, to support
the department’s cleanup mission at the Idaho Site under the Idaho
Cleanup Project (ICP) Core Contract. The contract is valued at
approximately $1.4 billion over five years.
The 890-square-mile Idaho site is located in the eastern Idaho
high desert 38 miles west of Idaho Falls.
“We are very pleased that DOE has selected us to support the ICP
Core Contract,” said Bruce Stanski, president of Fluor’s Government
Group. “We have a legacy in Idaho where we have worked on some of
the most innovative nuclear facilities including the Materials Test
Reactor, the Advanced Test Reactor and the New Waste Calcine
Facility. We look forward to again being an integral part of the
team helping DOE meet its mission at the Idaho site and building on
the momentum that the incumbent employees have already
created.”
Fluor Idaho will focus on addressing the key elements of the ICP
Core – dispositioning transuranic waste (TRU), spent nuclear fuel
storage and high-level radioactive waste processing. This work will
support multiple national and state regulatory agreements,
including the 1995 Idaho Settlement Agreement, and to seamlessly
consolidate the ICP and Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project
contracts. The consolidation eliminates redundancies, integrates
activities and ensures the government gets the highest return on
its investment.
“While this consolidation presents significant challenges, we
have a strong team – one that not only respects the outstanding
work already done at the site, but also has the expertise and
resources to achieve mission success on this contract,” said
Stanski. “Our team has been a part of the Idaho site’s community
for 50 years. We look forward to partnering with DOE to accomplish
the ICP Core mission and meet the associated regulatory commitments
safely, cost effectively and on time.”
Fluor Idaho is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fluor and leads a
team that includes subcontractors CH2M, Waste Control Specialists,
LLC, and Idaho-based small businesses North Wind, Inc., and
Portage, Inc.
For more than 70 years, Fluor has served as a DOE contractor
with a legacy that dates back to the Manhattan Project. In addition
to its current role as the managing partner on the management and
operating contract at the Savannah River Site, including the
Savannah River National Laboratory, Fluor serves as the prime
contractor for decontaminating and decommissioning the Portsmouth
Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio, and deactivating the
Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah, Kentucky. Fluor also
manages and operates the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, headquartered
in New Orleans, Louisiana, for DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy.
