Energy Steel, part of the Engineered Pumps and Motors Division of Avingtrans plc and leader in high quality components, fabrications, and materials for the nuclear energy sector, has been awarded a $4.1M contract from Nuclear Waste Partnership LLC.
The contract, 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.
