The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that the CH2M-WG Idaho, LLC (CWI) contract for operations management and decommissioning at the US DOE's Idaho National Laboratory in eastern Idaho has been extended for three years.

Under the contract extension CWI will be responsible for treatment and disposal of radioactive waste; retrieval, disposal and other remediation related to buried waste; safe management of spent nuclear fuel; disposition of nuclear materials; disposition of reactor and non-reactor nuclear facilities; environmental remediation activities; and completion of the sodium bearing waste processing.
