by PegNews wire

IRVING — Fluor Corporation announced today that Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC, a Fluor-led team, won a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) contract at the Savannah River Site near Aiken, S.C. The estimated $4 billion contract is for managing and operating at the Site over a five-year period. Additionally, there are five, one-year renewal options bringing the potential total contract value to $8 billion.

The DOE’s Savannah River Site focuses on supporting and maintaining the nuclear-weapons stockpile as well as processing and storing nuclear materials in support of U.S. nuclear non-proliferation efforts. Work performed at the Site includes environmental management and the cleanup of legacy materials, facilities, and wastes left over from the Cold War. The Savannah River National Laboratory, a federally-funded research and development center, is also located at the Site.

Savannah River Nuclear Solutions LLC was formed by Fluor Corporation with team members Northrop Grumman, Honeywell and Lockheed Martin. Key personnel from each company comprise the SRNS senior management team, under the leadership of president and chief executive officer Chuck Munns. Munns formerly served as a vice admiral in the U.S. Navy, where he was responsible for the U.S. Submarine Force worldwide.

“Fluor has a long track record of achieving significant milestones and maintaining exemplary safety records within the DOE Complex,” said Alan Boeckmann, Fluor Corporation’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Now, we will leverage all that Fluor has to offer to support the DOE’s mission and deliver safe, on-time, on-budget performance at Savannah River.”
