European Commission Joint Research Centre – Decommissioning and waste management

The European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) selected an Amentum-led joint venture as the lead decommissioning and waste management contractor for nuclear research sites in four European countries.
We are providing decommissioning solutions to accelerate the cleanup efforts of JRC sites in Ispra (Italy), Karlsruhe (Germany), Geel (Belgium) and Petten (The Netherlands), including structures such as research reactors, hot cells, accelerators, laboratories and other infrastructure where radioactive substances have been handled.
Amentum, supported by joint venture partner WSP Italia and sub-contractors TUV Rheinland and Protection Solution SRL, is leveraging decommissioning and waste management techniques developed at the world’s most complex nuclear sites, integrating innovative solutions to complex technical and project management challenges.
The JV’s scope of work includes licensing, radioactive waste management, radiation protection, decommissioning and nuclear engineering, worksite management and safety, non-nuclear engineering, facility supervision and quality assurance.
