DeNuke has been awarded a one year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with two, one year options for Waste Management Support in Lemont, Illinois at the Argonne National Laboratory, operated by UChicago Argonne, LLC.  “This new contract is a result of the fine waste management work products the DeNuke staff have been providing ANL since 2008,” said Fred Gardner, Founder.  “We are particularly aware that ANL’s receipt of ARRA funding will require new control processes and procedures, additional technical staff and a focus on safety to address the accelerated removal of very challenging legacy wastes from ANL.  We’re proud of our expertise to meet these mission requirements.”

DeNuke is a diverse, Oak Ridge based, small business providing nuclear services and staffing with over 155 employees in 15 states.  “With half our business in DOE radiation protection, safety, remediation and waste management projects and half in commercial nuclear power maintenance and new reactor construction projects we are well positioned to weather the current economic crisis.  The benefit of our diversity is that we can tap into personnel resources across the country to support our clients with high quality people,” said John Coffman, President.  DeNuke has extensive experience in providing professional, management, and technical waste management staffing and support services at multiple DOE facilities throughout the U.S., including active subcontracts for technical staffing support at ANL, INL, LANL, PDGP, PORTS, Y-12, SPRU, Hanford, ORNL , and Mound OU-1.
