< Back Farewell - Steve and John! Jun 30, 2022 Two Legends Retire... As many of you know, two of our long-time employees, Steve Berger and John LePere, have retired, after both being part of the WMG Family for nearly 20 years. Please join us in wishing them a happy retirement, and in hoping they are enjoying some well-deserved relaxation! John LePere began working at WMG, inc. in 2004, as our Nuclear Services General Manager. Over the next 18 years, John also served as Vice President and Director of Logistics, Shipping, and Disposal. One of the nicest people you could ever meet, we will miss John's expertise, wisdom, and always-upbeat attitude. Steve Berger began working at WMG in 2007, serving as our Training and Customer Service Manager. Those of you that know Steve know that his professionalism and humor will be greatly missed! Although they may be gone, their knowledge persists at WMG. We couldn't be more appreciative of the hard work Johnny and Steve have put in over the years, and we wish them nothing but the best while they enjoy their well-earned retirement! Previous Next

< Back Important Update Mar 31, 2023 Regarding the NRC's Uniform Low-Level Waste Manifest... Many have noticed that the current US NRC Uniform Low-Level Waste Manifest (UWM) included several new additions when Revision 3 was issued in June of 2021. One of these new additions was the inclusion of an OMB number and expiration date. The current UWM had an expiration date of 1/31/2023, which led many sites to question whether it is acceptable to continue using an expired manifest. As a result of a WMG discussion with the NRC on February 13th 2023, to address the expiration date of the UWM, the NRC has updated their website to include guidance that "use of the NRC UWM forms with the 1/31/2023 expiration date and the form date of 06-2021 is acceptable in the interim". Further, the NRC informed WMG that the expected OMB approval of the UWM will not result in any material changes to the manifest with the exception of a change of the expiration date and/or form date. The NRC has said that going forward, the NRC form library will be updated every 30 days, with a new expiration date until OMB approval has been issued. In the interim, it is not necessary to revise your waste manifests, nor is it necessary to remediate the waste manifest by striking the expiration date. The updated clarification is in bold text at the top of the NRC Low-Level Waste Disposal page, which can be found here: Uniform Waste Manifest | NRC.gov Previous Next

Discover the FLTRSTOR™ system, revolutionizing the handling of radioactive filters for enhanced efficiency. With integrated racks and pallets, our system accommodates up to 104 Tri Nuclear type filters, streamlining storage, shipping, and processing. Experience cost savings and increased productivity with this innovative solution, minimizing handling and maximizing container capacity for large-scale filter cleanout campaigns. FLTRSTOR™ The FLTRSTOR™ system revolutionizes the process of loading, storing, and shipping filters, significantly enhancing efficiency compared to the traditional method of simply dropping filters into a container. Comprising four (4) racks with integrated pallets, the FLTRSTOR™ system enables the reliable accommodation of up to 104 Tri Nuclear type filters (e.g., 6" diameter x 30" length) within our 8-120 custom Open-Top Container, which is provided as part of the system. This integrated solution eliminates the need for multiple handling of each filter during storage, dose profiling, container loading/unloading, and processing, while also increasing the quantity of filters that can be shipped simultaneously. By loading 104 filters in each outgoing FLTRSTOR™ container, significant cost savings are achieved by reducing the number of expensive 8-120B cask shipments and minimizing the required number of containers for large filter cleanout campaigns. Key Features One of the key advantages of the FLTRSTOR™ system is its ability to significantly reduce the number of lifting operations required to load filters into the container. This reduction not only minimizes personnel exposure (with one customer reporting a dose savings of over 50% compared to loading individual filters), but it also allows for the optimal positioning of higher dose rate filters at the center of the load, maximizing cask shielding during transport. This positioning is made possible by the traceable individual rack storage cell locations. Rack Handling The FLTRSTOR™ racks can be conveniently staged on the pool floor, occupying a footprint of 24" x 58". Alternatively, they can be hung from a suitable curb hanger with a robust weight capacity of approximately 500 lbs. Once a rack is fully loaded, it is removed and placed inside the provided WMG 8-120 custom open top container. Two (2) racks fit at the bottom of the 120 container, with the remaining two (2) racks stacking on top. Once all the racks are loaded, the container lid is securely re-installed, and the cask is prepared for shipment off-site to its ultimate disposition. Rack Features Stainless steel construction with multiple drain holes to support underwater loading. Height = 30 1/8" Footprint = 24"x54" Tare Weight = 180 lbs. Maximum Gross Weight = 530 lbs.
