OAK RIDGE, TN – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Office (ORO) has recognized an Oak Ridge-based company for outstanding safe work performance at the Transuranic (TRU) waste processing center, located on the border of Roane and Anderson counties.

EnergX was acknowledged for achieving 1,687 days without a lost work day for work performed for the DOE ORO during the last four years. 

"This company has taken their commitment of assuring a safe work culture to heights that are to be commended," said Gerald Boyd, Manager, DOE ORO.  "They have made a collective commitment to doing this work safely, while at the same time, involving their workers in the planning and execution of that work." 

EnergX manages the TRU Waste Processing Center (formerly known as the TRU/Alpha Low Level Waste Treatment Project) for the DOE ORO Environmental Management Program. The facility disposes of liquid and solid TRU waste with remote and contact handled capabilities, incorporating features which accomplish goals of minimal environmental impact, safe operation and ease of decommissioning/ minimization of TRU contaminated waste.

"EnergX is extremely proud of our employees at the TRU Waste Processing Center," said Tony Buhl, President and CEO of EnergX.  "Their dedication to doing work safely is evident in everything they do.  Every one of us shares DOE's vision to clean up Oak Ridge and surrounding areas for the well being of our citizens, our grandchildren, and future generations."

The DOE ORO safety awards program began in 2005, and since its inception has presented six other contractor organizations awards of excellence in safety performance.
