- CENTREVILLE, Va., July 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Department of Energys (DOE) Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) a first-of-a-kind, one-of-a-kind facility that was designed, built, and is being operated by Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) has successfully processed more than 1 million gallons of radioactive nuclear waste.
- In 2002, the DOE selected Parsons to design, build, commission, and operate SWPF with the goal of processing 32million gallons of radioactive salt waste stored in underground tanks at the Savannah River Site (SRS).
- Parsons finished building SWPF in April 2016, eightmonths ahead of schedule and more than $65million under the target cost of the contract for construction activities.
- SWPF operations and the resulting increased treatment capacity delivers immense value to the nation by increasing the efficiency and volume of processed nuclear waste, greatly reducing the time needed to accomplish the nuclear remediation mission.
