U.S. DOE awards Fluor $420 million contract for Paducah Decommission and Decontamination

Environment and Sanitation

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected Fluor Corporation (FLR) for the next phase of cleanup at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (GDP) in Paducah, Kentucky. Fluor is the main contractor for the management, integration and execution of the deactivation and post-GDP decommissioning remediation procedures at the Paducah site. It is expected that the new contract award will be fruitful in reducing environmental risks and generate local job opportunities. The approximate value of the contract, which Fluor reserved in the third quarter of 2014, is around $420 million over a duration of three years.

Bruce Stanski, president of Fluor's Government Group, commented, that we are very excited to be the chosen one, among the rest of the bidders on this project. The gaseous diffusion plant’s experience are the advantage we’ve acquired at Portsmouth and Fluor’s decades of expertise managing and handling nuclear decommissioning sites, We aim to work with the Department of Energy in full co-operation to execute the site’s activities safely and in a cost effective manner.Read complete story at http://www.tendersontime.com/blog-detail/us-doe-awards-fluor-420-million-contract-paducah-decommission-and-decontamination-194.php
