Discover WMG's expertise in accurate radioactive waste characterization and classification, essential for successful waste management projects. With over 40 years of experience, we specialize in non-routine waste characterization for commercial and decommissioning power plants, ensuring defensible results. Trust WMG for precise characterization and classification services, vital for effective project planning and compliant waste transportation and disposal. Characterization and Classification Accurate and systematic actions are crucial in radioactive waste management to ensure correct and reliable results. The initial step for any successful waste management project is proper characterization, NRC classification, and DOT classification. At WMG, we pride ourselves as the industry leader in providing defensible characterization and classification results. Characterization aims to determine waste weight, volume, and activity for each radionuclide present in the radioactive material. NRC and DOT classification is then determined based on extensive rules and laws governing radioactive waste transportation and disposal. Proper characterization and classification results are essential for successful project planning, including shielding and packaging of radioactive material. At WMG, we specialize in non-routine waste characterization generated by commercial and decommissioning power plants for the past 40 years. Our expertise in characterizing routine waste streams also allows us to provide unparalleled services for any radioactive material. Routine Radioactive Material Since the introduction of 10 CFR 61, WMG has been simplifying the characterization and classification process for commercial nuclear utilities' routine plant wastes. We stay actively engaged in the development and enhancement of regulations governing these activities to ensure that utility perspectives are appropriately considered and represented in both NRC and DOT regulatory processes. In addition, we are pleased to provide characterization and classification analysis for routine projects. Perhaps the customer lacks the resources or simply prefers to have the industry-leading experts perform this service. Non-Routine Radioactive Material 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. Irradiated Components Our expert analysts are industry leaders in irradiated components and are committed to providing accurate and reliable results. Metals exposed to neutron flux should generally be classified as irradiated components, and assessing the activation concentrations levels necessitates collaboration across multiple engineering disciplines, including mechanical and nuclear engineering. Our team is renowned for their expertise in this field and strives to maintain industry leadership in providing this service. Common examples of irradiated components include BWR Control Rod Blades, Reactor Vessels & Internals, as well as Nuclear Instrumentation from both BWRs and PWRs, such as LPRMs, excore detectors, and Reactor Vessel and Internals.

< Back 1979 WMG Founded 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.

Explore WMG's unparalleled expertise in decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) services, honed over 40 years of industry leadership. From the historic Shoreham project to international collaborations with the IAEA, we've been at the forefront of D&D initiatives. Trust WMG to navigate complex regulatory frameworks and deliver cost-effective solutions for packaging, transporting, and disposing of D&D wastes with the utmost compliance and efficiency. Decommissioning Services For over 40 years, WMG has been delivering value to its clients through best practices and optimized waste dispositioning. We have extensive experience in the field of decontamination and decommissioning (D&D), dating back to the Shoreham project in 1992. Over the past four decades, we have provided support for the vast majority of D&D projects in various sectors including private, institutional, and government. We have also extended our expertise to international D&D projects and to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). WMG has handled a wide range of D&D project scopes. Conducting evaluations of radioactive waste characterization, packaging, storage, transportation, and disposal alternatives to providing one-of-a-kind engineered packages for the intact disposal of reactor pressure vessels with internals. We focus on understanding each customer's unique requirements and leverage our comprehensive knowledge of federal, state, local, and disposal site regulatory frameworks to deliver the lowest risk and most cost-effective solutions for compliantly packaging, transporting, and disposing of D&D wastes. There is no substitute for accurate characterization of the radioactive waste that will be directly disposed of, stored prior to entering SAFSTOR, or generated during a D&D project. The feasibility of all planning, packaging, transport and disposal alternatives is based on characterization results. This need for accurate characterization is particularly true for the reactor pressure vessel and internals where errors due to faulty methodologies or inexperience can cost a client millions of dollars and months of time. Waste Characterization Accurate characterization of radioactive waste is essential for optimizing handling, packaging, transportation, storage, and disposal during a D&D project. This is especially true for the reactor pressure vessel and internals, as errors resulting from flawed approaches or lack of expertise could incur substantial cost and significant delays for the client. WMG is widely recognized as an industry leader in Waste Characterization. We possess the expertise to precisely define location-specific characteristics, enabling us to develop cost-effective strategies for packaging waste for disposal or storage (GTCC waste). Strategic Planning Effective strategic planning is critical for the success of a D&D project, whether your plant is undergoing SAFSTOR or full decommissioning. At WMG, we have extensive experience and unparalleled technical expertise in waste characterization, packaging, and logistics. Our knowledge of the constantly evolving disposal and regulatory landscape enables us to provide our customers with customized plans that minimize their risk and costs for their specific decommissioning challenges. Package Selection, Design, and Permitting Only through detailed knowledge of the entire logistics path can an optimal package selection be made. Cost, ALARA, dimensional, weight, and regulatory constraints need to be evaluated as a whole to determine the best package configuration. Sometimes custom packaging provides the optimum alternative compared to additional segmentation to fit existing packages. Since each site and component is unique, a customized plan can reduce our client's schedule and costs. Proven Experience and Capabilities With WMG's extensive experience and demonstrated capabilities, our clients can be assured of receiving the most effective plans and package designs available. We conduct thorough assessments of all aspects of disposition, including waste characterization, packaging, and logistics, to develop a clear and well-defined disposition pathway for all waste streams.
