Our History

WMG initiates the development of the REACh™ characterization system, a groundbreaking technology that transforms the process of characterizing and classifying low-level waste using a portable detector.

WMG introduces FME Guardian™, a web-enabled application that monitors foreign material exclusion to bolster site FME Programs.

WMG innovates FLTRSTOR™ liners, enhancing packaging efficiency for cartridge filters by 50% and providing customers with substantial cost savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

WMG is awarded prime contract for the shipment and disposal of the Point Beach steam generator lower assemblies (SGLA). The Four SGLAs were transported via goldhofer, barge, and rail for disposal in 2014, and qualified as IP2 packages.

RADMAN™ is uploaded into the cloud, further increasing the modularity and storage capabilities of WMG’s flagship program.

WMG receives Platt’s Global Energy Innovation Award for the filter processing methodology, one year after breaking into the filter processing business.

WMG enters the filter processing businesses after 18 months of research and development, and drastically reduces the disposition costs of high activity filters within the industry.

WMG Packages and transports the Farley Unit 1 and Surry Unit 2 retired reactor pressure vessel heads intact for disposal using our patented transportation system, marking the first time in history a reactor vessel head is shipped intact.

Kevin Tuite takes over as President and CEO.

WMG receives patents for its innovative intact reactor pressure vessel packaging, which was used at several decommissioning sites, including San Onofre.

The release of RADMAN™ for Windows incorporates FILTRAK™, RAMSHP™, and other programs into a bundled package, significantly enhancing the software's capabilities.

WMG receives the initial patent for the MLLWVS™ Automated Characterization System, marking the first in a series of patents that enable compact sites to validate

WMG ventures into the decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) market, securing a significant contract at Yankee Rowe based on prior success with activation

WMG creates FILTRAK™ and RAMSHP™ in response to the emerging trends in the filter characterization sector. These programs are seamlessly integrated and currently

WMG initiates the development of the RADCOR™ program targeting irradiated hardware. Upon approval, RADCOR™ enables WMG's entry into the hardware sector,

WMG begins development of the RADMAN™ program and receives NRC topical approval. The original RADMAN™ program was written in FORTRAN IV for the TRS 80 computer. A dot matrix printer was included, and the entire package weighed about 20 lbs. Peter drove around from plant to plant in his station wagon attempting to sell RADMAN™, and Oyster Creek eventually bought the first unit.

Waste Management Group, Inc. was founded by Peter Tuite with two other partners in October of 1979, with the goal of getting into the radioactive waste management and software industry. However, in the first year they lost $100,000, causing the other two partners to pull out. Peter however was undeterred and was able to land a contract with Three Mile island. This put Waste Management Group, Inc. on the map and allowed for future growth. Soon after, the company’s name was shortened to WMG, inc. to avoid confusion with competitors.
