Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), operated by University of Chicago, LLC, has awarded DeNuke a competitively bid Basic Ordering Agreement for health physics support over the next year, with three one year options. The objective of the statement of work is to support ANL in carrying out specific work projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. DeNuke will provide DOE Core Qualified Radiation Control Technicians (RCTs), RCT supervisors, and Health Physicists who will perform radiological safety monitoring, documentation, and related services for the duration of those ARRA funded projects.
“A few years ago, we made a strategic commitment to develop our health physics business to support DOE’s Office of Science and Environmental Management programs,” said Fred Gardner, CHP, DeNuke founder. “The foreseeable future will be filled with tremendous personnel staffing challenges as the nationwide DOE ARRA projects become fully developed. We’re pretty excited about expanding our support to ANL.” DeNuke currently provides support to the waste management division at ANL, developing planning and procedures for RH TRU waste disposition.

The MTOA ESH&Q scope of work covers professional and technician support for IH, Health & Safety, Health Physics, Radiological Controls, Sampling, Environmental, QA, Sampling and Administrative and Project Management services. Under the three year base term plus two option years, LANS can place task orders under the fixed unit rate/ fixed price contract.

John Coffman CHP, President said, “I received Health Physics training at Los Alamos in graduate school. Since then I’ve seen the Lab’s growth in environmental management and the increased levels of security. DeNuke has been a part of the community for years, and now we’re thrilled to be able to offer new jobs to the Northern New Mexico community.”

“This MTOA will allow LANS to tap into DeNuke’s resources on short notice. We’ve been anticipating an increase in Waste Disposition and ER activities at LANL for some time. We’re ready to help.”- said Fred Gardner CHP, Founder.” We do not know what the level of activity will be, since the ARRA funding has not been finalized at LANL. To respond to the increased level of work in Northern New Mexico, DeNuke is pleased to have appointed Rich Krett, PG, as Vice President. Mr. Krett will manage all aspects of the existing and planned DeNuke projects “on the hill.”

“DeNuke knows Los Alamos well. I’m looking forward to helping LANS oversee the dozens of subcontractors and projects underway and in the startup phase.” said Rich Krett PG, Vice President.
