BATON ROUGE, La. - The U.S. Department of Energy has selected APTIM of Baton Rouge to deactivate a former nuclear testing site within the Los Alamos (N.M.) National Laboratory.
This task order is critical for the DOE as it involves the removal of hazardous materials to protect the surrounding community.
APTIM, a national DD&R contract holder, will start the project in October.
APTIM will coordinate its DD&R work with the DOE Office of Environmental Management and the National Nuclear Security Administration to avoid disruptions at LANL.
“We have a legacy of remediation and decommissioning projects at LANL," said Senior VP of Nuclear Decommissioning David Lowe, "and we look forward to reestablishing our presence there through this important project for DOE and NNSA.”
Formerly known as the Van de Graaff Accelerator Building, the IBF was built in 1951 on Test Area 3, a firing site during WWII’s Manhattan Project, which produced the first nuclear weapons.
