RICHLAND — The Department of Energy awarded a new Hanford environmental cleanup contract worth up to $10 billion over 10 years, it announced Thursday.
The Tri-City Herald reported that under the current contract, almost 1,700 workers are cleaning up contamination primarily in the center of the massive nuclear reservation and finishing up environmental cleanup by the Columbia River.
The winning bidder for the new Hanford Central Plateau Cleanup Contract is a team of Aecom Management Services in Maryland; Fluor Federal Services in Greenville, S.C.; and Atkins Nuclear Secured in Tennessee.
The team, called Central Plateau Cleanup Co., will do work similar to work being done at Hanford under the expiring contract of CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Co.
