Los Alamos, NM – June 21st, 2010

The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC (LANS), has awarded a Task Order to the MTOA team of Portage, Inc., Energy Solutions, Inc. and DeNuke Contracting Services, Inc., for staffing support to the MDA B Waste Excavation project at TA‐21 in Los Alamos, NM. The scope of work is to support LANS while performing the excavation of the first 10 mixed waste disposal trenches used from 1943 to 1948 during the fabrication of the Trinity plutonium test device and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki devices. DeNuke will provide Radiological Control Technicians and radiological instrumentation to the project.

“This is a world class project that has assembled a world class team of nuclear waste specialists to safely remove the waste and collect significant historical information,” said Rich Krett, VP Los Alamos Operations. ‘We have over three years of experience working on this project with Portage and Energy Solutions together, which gives LANS the benefits of a lot of careful planning. We look forward to “going hot” and reducing the risk to the community and the environment.’

DeNuke is a small, Oak Ridge based nuclear staffing and project services company, focused on nuclear energy projects across North America.
