Engineering Projects
Lockheed Martin Utility Services Inc. (LMUS), as the agent for the United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC), was responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Paducah and Portsmouth gaseous diffusion plants. In this capacity, LMUS frequently required engineering design and analysis in support of ongoing operation and maintenance activities.
Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corporation (LMER) contracted NAC to design a system for packaging and transporting transuranic Californium from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee to U.S. and international customers.
NAC has a long and successful history of providing innovative solutions to address the unique waste streams at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities. Recent examples involve adaptation of NAC’s U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-licensed MPC cask system design for storage of cesium and strontium capsules at the DOE Hanford Site in Washington State, and for storage of vitrified high-level waste at the West Valley Demonstration Project in Western New York.
