Bechtel BWXT Idaho

Bechtel BWXT Idaho manages and operates the U.S. Department of Energy's most advanced waste treatment facility, the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP), a cornerstone of DOE's commitment to prepare and ship transuranic waste out of Idaho.

Operations at AMWTP require the retrieval, characterization, treatment and packaging of transuranic waste currently stored at DOE's Idaho site. The project's schedule is aligned with court-mandated milestones in a 1995 Settlement Agreement between the state of Idaho, the U.S. Navy and DOE to remove the waste from Idaho.
