Current Projects

Palo Verde Units 1, 2 & 3 (Doosan)

Designing container(s) for transport by ocean vessel and truck of the new intact reactor heads from Korea to the Palo Verde Site. Included with the design are provisions for lifting and downending plans and devices using two 400 ton cranes at the Doosan fabrication facility and to be compatible with lifting and upending schemes at the plant site. WMG will be providing procedures and technical oversight for packaging and transport operations. Weight of package is 181 tons.

South Texas Project Units 1 & 2 (Westinghouse)

Characterizing RPV heads and providing input into mausoleum design. Designing, fabricating and supplying storage containers for intact RVHs. Developing packaging procedures and providing technical oversight during packaging, and on-site transport.

DC Cook Units 1 & 2(EnergySolutions)

Characterizing RPV heads. Designing, fabricating and installing shielded containers for truck transport of RPV head without CRDMs. RPV head package portions will be installed in containment for intact transfer to the CRDM removal location outside of containment. Designing, fabricating and supervising the loading of shielded CRDM packages.

Diablo Canyon (PGE)

Characterizing Steam Generators (SGs). Performing both preliminary and final characterization during N-1 and replacement outages. We will be providing survey protocols, and performing characterization from which temporary shielding and interim packaging will be designed.

Past Projects

University of Michigan - CH2M Hill (2007)

Performed on-site decommissioning and waste management for the decommissioning of the Ford Reactor Facility. Characterized irradiated reactor components, developed characterization and waste management plans. Supervised waste packaging, loading and transportation of all wastes removed. Developed shipment documentation, and provided interface with regulators.

Comanche Peak - Curtiss-Wright (2007)

Designed, fabricated and supplied a container for transport by barge and truck of the new intact reactor head. The container is convertible to an IVHTS (Intact Vessel Head Transport System) for potential packaging of the old reactor head for storage/disposal. Developed and supplied procedures and technical oversight for packaging operations. Provided characterization of RVH and steam generators under separate contract direct to the utility.

Farley Units 1 & 2 - Westinghouse (2006)

Supplied DOT exempted packaging for two RPVHs for shipment for disposal. Provided waste characterization for both RPVHs. Provided procedures and technical oversight for packaging operations. Both RPVHs shipped for disposal.

West Valley Demo Project - WVNSCO (2004)

Provided technical support for decommissioning the WVDP Vitrification facility. Initially, developed designs and plans for removal and packaging of three large components; the Melter, CFMT and MFHT tanks. Designed and permitted DOT packages for these components and provided the shielded packaging. Provided on-site technical support during component removal and packaging for transport and disposal. Provided waste characterization for all three components.
