What We Do

Safely Reducing Environmental Risks

We are cleaning up contaminated, unused facilities on the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR). In addition to removing excess facilities, we maintain facilities across ORR that are waiting for disposition. We also provide critical upgrades to extend the life of active, but aging, facilities. This continues the same work done by the former UCOR from 2011 to 2022.

Sometimes, environmental cleanup requires creative solutions. Our cleanup team at East Tennessee Technology Park implemented one such solution recently, performing cleanup work from a barge on Poplar Creek.

At the ORNL Low Intensity Test Reactor (Building 3005), crews recently began demolition activities. They finished mobilizing earlier this week and began demolishing an ancillary structure on the west side of 3005. Next steps are clearing the debris and taking down tie lines and pipes as well as another ancillary structure. ... See MoreSee Less

UCOR recently received its first fully electric vehicle as part of a broader transition to an electric vehicle fleet across the EM complex. An important component of OREM’s integrated sustainability program, electric vehicles will be delivered as they become available through the U.S. General Services Administration and replace the existing inventory.

Transitioning the Oak Ridge fleet to electric vehicles is estimated to avoid up to 320 metric tons in carbon emissions and $50,000 in fuel costs each year.

In September, we told you that work was getting underway to develop a new base of operations for UCOR at Y-12. The site, known as West OSY (Old Salvage Yard), is located outside of the Protected Area between the PIDAS fence and Old Bear Creek Road.

Work is in full swing now to prepare infrastructure for the trailers workers will need. That work is done in coordination with our subcontractor, CS Edgewater. Our team is working closely with Y-12 to coordinate tie-ins to active utilities. Pictured here are workers preparing the site, which includes grading the northwest corner of the site and also grading for driveway preparations. In addition, crews are demolishing and removing abandoned steam and condensate piping and installing supply water piping, underground sewer piping, and manholes.

Safety

We Strive to Set the Standard in Safety

Safety is always the top priority at UCOR. We are a DOE Voluntary Protection Program Star site, a designation given to only the safest sites in the DOE Complex. Our award-winning safety performance has earned us many accolades.

Employee involvement is a key aspect of our safety culture. We empower our workers to stop work if they see something questionable. We also have strong worker engagement program to ensure our team members feel safe in their work environment.
