Jan. 7, 2008--URS Corporation (NYSE: URS) today announced that its Washington Division has been awarded a $67 million task order by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to deactivate and demolish the Separations Process Research Unit (SPRU), a former nuclear research facility in Niskayuna, New York. SPRU, which is located at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, was operated from 1950 to 1953 as a pilot plant to research chemical processes to extract uranium and plutonium from irradiated uranium.
URS was selected for the four-year task order from a pool of pre-qualified contractors under an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for a wide range of environmental tasks for the DOE. Under the terms of the task order, URS will deactivate, demolish and remove process facilities and nearby contaminated soil associated with the SPRU operations.
