Under contract to Bechtel Jacobs Company, LLC (BJC), WESKEM provided the waste management expertise to package and ship 40 Size-4 Uranium Enrichment Converters to the Nevada Test Site (NTS) for disposal. The converters weight approximately 10,000 pounds each, and were used in the Department of Energy (DOE) K-25 uranium enrichment facility at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) on the Oak Ridge Reservation.

The WESKEM staff was responsible for preparing and reviewing all work packages, job orders, security plans, and transportation plans required for the project. WESKEM staff also conducted UCN-2109 data package evaluation against the approved master profile for NTS waste shipments, coordinated resolution of waste characterization/waste stream data package discrepancies as needed, and completed appropriate shipping documentation to accomplish DOT-compliant over-the-road transportation of converters to NTS. WESKEM staff also provided the supervision and transportation guidance to accomplish the physical loading, blocking, bracing, and load guidance in accordance with the approved work package and support documents.

The project was completed on time and within the project budget.
