The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced yesterday the awards of five basic ordering agreements to conduct nationwide low-level and mixed low-level radioactive commercial waste treatment services at commercial waste treatment facilities of DOE contractors throughout the United States.

Westinghouse Electric Company and nuclear waste management company Perma-Fix Environmental Services plan to jointly develop a state-of-the-art advanced materials treatment facility in the United Kingdom. During the 2022 Waste Management Symposia, held last week in Phoenix, Ariz., the two companies signed a nonbinding agreement to cooperate on a facility that will provide low-level radioactive waste treatment services to the European market.
