Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth LLC is the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) contractor for the decontamination and decommissioning of the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio.
Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) and BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT) (NYSE: BWXT), two world-class companies with significant Ohio experience, formed Fluor-BWXT to address the decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) needs at DOE’s Portsmouth Site. CH2M, another global leader in industrial and environmental projects, provides support. Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth employs 1,900 workers who bring unparalleled experience, insights, and lessons learned from across the DOE complex.
Bruce Royal has seen the PORTS site in full motion and now gets to witness the preparation for future development. The Ironton native has worked as a welder on site for the past 52 years. “I was hired as an apprentice in December 1972, for a three-year apprenticeship program with Goodyear Atomic to be a journeyman welder,” said Royal.
“The plant’s full circle journey will always be a cherished memory, and I look forward to seeing how this change will bring new opportunities to the community.”
