Greg Wilkett, Fluor-BWXT President and CEO
“Attendees will be welcomed by a DOE representative, and will be able to talk one-on-one with site leadership and subject matter experts on a variety of activities related to the site,” said Karen Price of Fluor-B&W Portsmouth, the DOE contractor for decontamination and decommissioning (D&D).
Information stations about projects and activities will be open in the cafeteria with engineers, scientists and other experts on hand to talk about the work.
Attendees can learn how DOE is working with community leaders on plans to clean up the former Gaseous Diffusion Plant while best preparing this regional asset for potential new uses. Topics at the information stations include strategies to optimize the amount of site property available for redevelopment and positive impacts of cleanup work on the local community. Community members can also provide input on ways to preserve the history of the site during cleanup, Price said.
“Our meetings provide a way to keep stakeholders informed as work progresses,” Price said. “This gives those interested a chance to speak face to face with experts and site leadership in areas of their interest, whether that is cleanup work, the decisions that have to be made, or other activities.”
