Pavol Stuller, Amentum’s European Development Director, and Laurent Jerrige, JRC Director for Nuclear Decommissioning, signing the contract.

Under the $112 million (€95.7 million) contract, awarded by the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC), the Amentum-led JV will provide decommissioning solutions to accelerate the cleanup efforts of JRC sites in Ispra (Italy), Karlsruhe (Germany), Geel (Belgium) and Petten (The Netherlands).

“Amentum’s robust track record of delivering European-funded projects on time and on budget in multiple countries, including prior experience working at JRC Ispra, made us the ideal choice for this contract,” said Loren Jones, senior vice president and head of Amentum’s Energy & Environment-International business. “We will leverage decommissioning and waste management techniques developed at the world’s most complex nuclear sites, integrating innovative solutions to complex technical and project management challenges. Additionally, our strong ties to regulatory authorities across the European Union will serve as a vital asset in ensuring success.”

For more than 60 years, the JRC sites have addressed complex challenges in areas such as nuclear decommissioning, innovation, safeguards and non-proliferation by conducting research, providing scientific advice and supporting European Union policy makers.

The decommissioning and waste management contract will cover structures such as research reactors, hot cells, accelerators, laboratories and other infrastructure where radioactive substances have been handled.

The work will be delivered by an Amentum-led joint venture with WSP Italia, supported by sub-contractors TUV Rheinland and Protection Solution SRL. 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.

The JRC contract has a duration of two years with three potential two-year extensions.
