Savannah River Mission Completion

Savannah River Mission Completion

View

SRMC is a prime U.S. Department of Energy contractor that manages the treatment and disposal of radioactive liquid waste at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. Its work brings together BWX Technologies, Amentum, and Fluor under the Integrated Mission Completion Contract to run all liquid-waste facilities in one program. The process separates high-level waste, which is vitrified at the Defense Waste Processing Facility, from a large volume of salt waste that is solidified and disposed of in Saltstone Disposal Units. Its goal is to complete tank closures by 2037, using methods such as the Next Generation Solvent, drones, and artificial intelligence to map sites and optimize cleanup.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • DOE said eight tanks reached PCWR by May 2026, all ahead of schedule.
  • SDU 10 started operations in 2026, adding 33 million gallons disposal capacity.
  • SRMC secured Burns in May 2025, supporting continuity through the 2037 closure plan.

What critics are saying

  • DOE issued a September 2025 enforcement letter for willful DWPF conduct-of-operations violations.
  • SRMC still relies on DWPF, SWPF, and SDU 12 to avoid cleanup bottlenecks.
  • Any tank-farm radiological incident or procedural lapse threatens DOE oversight and contract trust.

What makes Savannah River Mission Completion unique

  • SRMC runs all SRS liquid waste operations under DOE’s 2021 single-award IMCC.
  • Tank 14 reached PCWR in May 2026; SRMC beat FFA deadlines years early.
  • SRMC deployed drones and livestreamed inspections, cutting tank work by weeks and $700,000.
