TPMC is currently providing technical support to the Bechtel-SAIC (BSC) team under their management and operations (M&O) contract with the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM), U.S. Department of Energy. TPMC’s scope of work includes integrating Program-level and Project-level activities and providing technical staff in a broad spectrum of technical disciplines and study areas, such as regulatory strategy, policy development, system studies, license application preparation, technical baseline, geochemistry, igneous intrusion, performance confirmation, and data qualification. TPMC also provides technical experts for special studies, such as evaluation of alternative waste forms and development of a transportation/logistics simulation model that is being used to model the “cradle to grave” waste management process for the storage, transportation, packaging, and disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive wastes from 129 sites to the geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. |
