< Back We Have Opened a New Office in Lakewood Ranch, Florida Mar 28, 2022 We're thrilled to now have a new location in the Sunshine state! WMG is thrilled to announce the opening of our new office in Lakewood Ranch, Florida! Our new building is located just off University Parkway in downtown Lakewood Ranch, minutes away from sandy beaches and some of the nicest golf courses on the East coast. This beautiful new location will improve the lives of our employees, as well as providing us with a new base of operations in the Southeast. While our Peekskill location will remain our home office, this new location allows us room to continue to grow, while continuing to recruit the best and brightest individuals in the industry. Although this past year brought along many challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to become capable remote workers, making the WMG family more connected than ever. The lessons learned during the pandemic regarding teamwork, cooperation, and communication will allow our team to continue to work seamlessly with our clients and each other, regardless of geographical location. We look forward to our valued business partners paying our sunny new office a visit! Previous Next

< Back Employee Spotlight: Connor Aldea Jun 30, 2022 Come meet one of our team members! Connor Aldea has been with WMG for 4 years as a Nuclear Engineer, since graduating from Penn State. Some of Connor’s responsibilities and duties include: Characterization and classification of radioactive material. Performing complex calculations to get activity by nuclide on a component and classify it based on NRC guidelines for disposal. Shielding analysis. Using MegaShield ™ and MCNP to model complex geometries and estimate dose rates for various purposes, especially DOT shipping dose rate limits and estimating required shielding. Technical expertise. Assisting plants and decommissioning sites on all aspects of the regulatory guidelines and RADMAN ™ to help projects and planning. Connor particularly enjoys decommissioning work, as there is always something new and unique happening on these projects. When not working, Connor enjoys watching New York and Penn State sports, spending time with his cat Cleo, playing golf, tennis, and traveling. He also enjoys alternative rock. “I enjoy most that every day is different from the last. In our work there are always new and unique problems, and we have to come up with solutions to assist our customers. Rarely am I doing the same task over and over.” – Connor Aldea, on working at WMG.

< Back REACh™ Detector System Jul 11, 2021 Successful Completion of the Field Testing The REACh™ Detector System measures gamma dose rates and gamma emitting activity by radionuclide, delivering quick and accurate characterization results. The results of the field testing for our REACh™ Detector System are in, and we could not be more pleased with them. The testing consisted of performing gamma scans for twenty-nine real packages of radioactive waste varying in size from 55-gallon drums to 20-foot intermodal containers. Waste forms included ion exchange resins, routine dry active waste (DAW), contaminated and activated metals, and fly ash. The results of the field testing were in good agreement with those found with a High Purity Germanium Detector and the total gamma emitters found were within 10%. The final characterization results from the REACh™ System including hard to detect isotopes from the RADMAN™ Interface, were over 20% lower than the results provided by the waste generators on the average. The REACh™ Detector has the capability to detect gamma emitters very quickly with a dynamic count time that is completed in a matter of seconds. Dynamic count times for the packages analyzed ranged from 1 to 19 seconds with all but 2 packages analyzed in less than 10 seconds. One of the final tests completed was a “walk-around” scan of an intermodal container with 6 individual readings taken. The walk around scan was completed in roughly 1 minute and the results were within 4% of those obtained using fixed detector locations and count times totaling more than 20 minutes. With the power of REACh™, the need to have subject matter experts on-site for low-level characterization and classification work is reduced, saving the user time, dose, and money and delivering accurate readings within seconds. The innovation of the REACh™ Detector, built on the power & reliability of our RADMAN™ Suite, is the way of the future for how low-level waste will be characterized and classified. The results of the field test exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to providing our valued clients and partners with more updates soon. Previous Next
