Avingtrans (AVG ) said Energy Steel, which forms part of the group’s Engineered Pumps and Motors division, has been awarded a $4.1m contract from Nuclear Waste Partnership LLC.
The company’s Energy Steel business develops high quality components, fabrications, and materials for the nuclear energy sector. Through strategic OEM partnerships, it also provides solutions for obsolete nuclear components as well as support for the most complex projects.
The contract from Nuclear Waste Partnership, which is expected to be completed by June 2023, includes the supply of materials and subassemblies required for the waste isolation pilot plant (WIPP), the nation’s only deep geological long-lived radioactive waste repository.
Avingtrans said both the materials and subassemblies will be used in the construction of the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT Type B packages developed by the U.S. Department of Energy.
It told investors that both packages are utilised as a safe means for the transportation of transuranic materials and designed to reduce the number of radioactive shipments.
Commenting, Drew Baker, President of Energy Steel, told investors: “We’re delighted that Energy Steel continues to gather momentum and this contract supports continuing growth. Energy Steel has been serving the nuclear industry over the last 40 years, and we are honoured to support one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today.”
