Background
EnergySolutions was formed in 2006 by merging BNFL's US nuclear clean-up division BNG America, with Duratek, Envirocare of Utah, and part of Scientech.
It has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since November 2007 and operates in two Canadian, 28 US and 18 European locations.
In 2012 it was awarded one of the first contracts for the clean-up of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
EnergySolutions says it is "one of the largest providers of services to safely transport, process, and dispose of radioactive materials." The businesses still operate as different divisions of the company:
- BNG America - nuclear design, engineering & technology
- Duratek - processing of nuclear waste
- Envirocare of Utah - the US's largest commercial low level nuclear waste disposal facility
- Scientech D&D - radioactive materials management consultancy [1]
Clients include:
- US Department of Energy
- US Department of Defense
- US National Nuclear Security Administration
- US Army Corps of Engineers
- a range of nuclear energy producers [2]
It also works in the following countries: China, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwain, UK.
In the UK it holds contracts with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority to manage the UK’s Magnox reactor sites. This involves generating electricity at Wylfa on Anglesey and Oldbury in South Gloucestershire and managing the clean-up and decommissioning at eight other sites around the UK.
In July 2006, the company announced that it would lead a team bidding to manage the UK's national repository of low-level radioactive waste, located near Drigg in Cumbria. Other consortium members were the British Nuclear Group and engineering firms Jacobs Babtie and Fluor.
The company clearly has designs on more nuclear clean-up work in the UK. Its International Group President, Philip Strawbridge, said: "EnergySolutions is uniquely qualified to manage the low-level waste repository near Drigg, to provide expertise for the UK's national low-level waste programme, and to assist the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority with the UK's environmental restoration programme.
