Washington River Protection Solutions oversees the treatment and disposal of 56M gallons of radioactive and chemical waste in the site’s 177 underground tanks, AECOM said Tuesday.
Across several key sites, AECOM has established a long history of supporting our DOE clients,” said John Vollmer, president of AECOMs management services group.
