About the Company

Savannah River Mission Completion

Manages legacy liquid radioactive waste cleanup

SRMC handles the safe management, treatment, and disposition of radioactive liquid waste at the Savannah River Site under the Integrated Mission Completion Contract for the DOE. It brings BWX Technologies, Amentum, and Fluor together to operate all liquid-waste facilities under one umbrella, streamlining cleanup and risk reduction. The process separates high-activity waste for vitrification at the Defense Waste Processing Facility and converts the remaining salt waste into a grout-like material for disposal in Saltstone Disposal Units, aided by the Next Generation Solvent technology. The goal is to close all waste tanks by 2037, using drones and AI to map sites and optimize operations within a cost-focused, performance-based contract.
