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.

More than 400 legacy containers are housed inside Y-12’s Alpha-4 building from cleanout that took place prior to UCOR’s contract. To determine the appropriate disposal path for these containers, they must be inspected and characterized. The project determined that 94 of these drums that were either pressurized or had the potential to become pressurized needed to be punctured and vented. With the help of a CNS specialty group, the drums were safely punctured and vented using a remote puncturing tool. The remaining containers do not pose a risk for pressurizing and will be vented prior to characterization. This working partnership with CNS is helping to reduce environmental risk safely and effectively at Y-12. ... See MoreSee Less

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.
