Explore WMG's specialty packaging solutions for nuclear power facilities, catering to the unique requirements of large, non-standard sized components. From reactor heads to coolant pumps, our turnkey services include design, fabrication, and regulatory interfacing. Trust WMG's experienced engineering team for reliable specialty and specification packages tailored to your specific needs. Specialty Packaging Nuclear Power Facilities are continuously maintaining and upgrading their overall material conditions. These activities invariably result in the need to package for shipment or store large, non-standard sized power plant components. Reactor heads, coolant pumps, drive mechanisms, and heat exchangers are a few examples of the kinds of removed or replaced components that will require a Specialty or Specification Package. WMG is an experienced turnkey service provider of Specialty and Specification Packages. Our engineering capabilities include design, fabrication and, where required, we provide licensing and regulatory interfacing. Components shipped or stored in WMG-supplied packages have included reactor pressure vessel heads, steam generators, control rod drives, and most recently an Auxiliary Decay Heat Exchanger. Design, Fabrication, and Test WMG designs, fabricates, tests, and delivers specialty radioactive material containers primarily for the commercial nuclear power industry. Packaging design always incorporates everything from shielding requirements to ensuring packaging can be shipped over the road or rails. All packages are fabricated in accordance with our 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Quality Assurance Program. Specification Packages At WMG, non-routine projects refer to unique scenarios such as large or rare components, unusual waste streams, or legacy waste where the desired data may not have been collected or retained. These projects typically require innovative solutions for characterization, shielding, and packaging. We take great pride in providing services for non-routine projects, as they allow us to exercise our creativity and apply our expertise in radioactive waste management to unique and challenging scenarios.

< Back WMG’s RADMAN™ and MegaShield™ Deployed at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility Sep 30, 2025 It’s a privilege to support the U.S. Navy in repairing, maintaining, and modernizing its fleet. WMG is proud to announce that its RADMAN™ and MegaShield™ software platforms have been successfully deployed at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF). RADMAN™ has been previously approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). RADMAN™ supports the characterization, classification, and shipment of radioactive materials and waste, while MegaShield™ provides shielding analysis, dose rate modeling, packaging configuration, and transport planning. Together, these tools help facilities streamline compliance, improve traceability, and strengthen radioactive materials and waste management practices. This deployment at PHNSY & IMF provides a model that can facilitate adoption of RADMAN™ and MegaShield™ at other shipyards supporting the Navy’s mission to repair, maintain, and modernize its fleet. PHNSY & IMF is the latest example of WMG software being deployed at a facility requiring proven provenance in radioactive waste management software, consistent with WMG’s RADMAN™ and MegaShield™ software use across the U.S. commercial nuclear power sector, including 92 of 94 operating nuclear plants, all active decommissioning projects, and the West Valley Department of Energy (DOE) site. For over 40 years, WMG has been the commercial nuclear industry standard in delivering field-tested and industry-trusted software solutions that help both government and commercial users achieve safe, compliant, and efficient radioactive materials and waste management. RADMAN™ and MegaShield™ are supported by WMG’s established QA program and comprehensive Verification and Validation (V&V) processes, aligned with NQA-1 and industry regulatory standards. RADMAN™, which has been approved by the NRC, continues to be the software of choice for commercial nuclear plants. With its deployment at PHNSY & IMF, RADMAN™ and MegaShield™ are now supporting radioactive materials and waste management at one of four public shipyards. Previous Next

< Back An Interview with our founder, Peter Tuite Dec 2, 2021 We sat down with Peter to ask him some questions about the industry, how he got his start, and more. What made you decide to start your own nuclear engineering company? Because, I had some skills that I thought could be applied. And you got to remember, when we first started, we did hazardous waste as well as nuclear waste. I had a partner, Bob, when I started, but it didn’t last very long. What were some of the biggest challenges you faced early on? Money. The first year, we went through 100k at the bank, and they called the note. That’s when Bob decided to go back to teaching (laughs) and we paid the bank off, and then I was on my own. How did RADMAN come into development? Well, I was involved in writing Part 61 before I started WMG. So, I worked with the guys at the NRC, and they had just instituted the topical report deal. So, I figured we’d put something together and submit a topical. The original RADMAN ran on a TRS 80 computer and included a dot matrix printer. What are some of the biggest changes or trends you’ve seen happen in the industry since you started WMG? There’s not much money to spend. Utilities are spending less money, there’s a larger focus on economics than there was before. Remember, they used to be able to just get automatic rate increases, which is no longer the case. And the guys in Radwaste are still pretty low on the totem pole. They don’t get the recognition in the industry that they deserve. When the NRC first started auditing plants, the guys in Radwaste had a lot more clout internally because nobody wanted to have conflict with the NRC. That is no longer the case. What is the most interesting customer support call you have ever received? (laughs) Wow. I won’t name the plant, but I trained them. In those days we used to send the code on about 5 floppy discs. And I got a call from one of the guys I trained, he was having problems with the new release. He said something along the lines of “I can get 3 of the discs in the drive, but I can’t get the fourth one in!!” What achievement are you most proud of? The longevity of the company. For it to have lasted so long, and to now have passed it on to my son. What advice do you have for younger engineers who are just starting out? Put in the time and know the subject better than anybody else you deal with. Be the smartest person in the room on the subject at hand. Where would you like to see WMG in another 10 years? (laughs) Around. I’d like to see us keep doing what we do, continuing to excel in engineering and software. Previous Next

< Back Farewell - Steve and John! Jun 30, 2022 Two Legends Retire...

< Back RADMAN™ Suite 9.6.1 Release Sep 23, 2022 The newest release of RADMAN™ Suite is now available. WMG, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of RADMAN™ Suite 9.6.1. This release corrects a conservative classification error when concentration averaging filters (WMG RCA 22-006). Additional changes include a fix to the Layout Manager UI and removal of the solidification option when characterizing Direct Sample package No previous RADMAN™ versions are required prior to installing the software included with this release. Correct Error with Concentration Averaging Filters In some circumstances, RADMAN would incorrectly disqualify a combined filter package from concentration averaging to a lower NRC waste class based on the 2015 BTP criteria. Remove Solidification Option when Characterizing Direct Sample Packages The ability to input a solidification volume fraction and sample density when characterizing Direct Sample packages has been removed. This feature was not broadly used and did not work as intended. Fix Minor Errors in the Layout Manager UI The Layout Manager UI feature would, in some circumstances, display incorrect columns and cause crashes when used on the Package Listing screen. Previous Next
