2. Environmental restoration
“A bird's nest nestled in the tall grasses of a wetland symbolizes the end of a 20-year struggle to clean up a site contaminated by radioactive material from a former Cold War-era uranium processing plant…”(Cornwell, 2007).
The ultimate objective of Fernald Closure Project was the accomplishment of environmental restoration in compliance with federal environmental regulations. In 2006, Fluor successfully completed the project of environmental restoration with the approval of U.S Department of Energy. In particular, Fluor successfully treated, by soil venting, 1,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil and chemically treated 45 cubic yards of lead-contaminated soil. Moreover, “Fluor designed and operated the largest ion-exchange water treatment facility in the world for removing uranium from groundwater to …show more content…
In October 2006, EPA certified that the Fernald site met regulatory mandated cleanup levels. In 1999, 2005 and 2006, Fernald Closure Project obtained DOE Pollution Prevention Award. All the nuclear production facilities were now dismantled, contaminants …show more content…
Needless to say, jobs meant that workers could make the earnings and afford living expenses for their own and their family as well. Perhaps, there were many people worrying about workers’ health and safety because some study mentioned the relation between radioactive exposure and serious diseases to lung and kidney (Hornung, Pinney, Lodwick, Killough, Brewer and Nasuta, 2008). Luckily, thanks to Fluor and DOE’s awareness of these risks, Fluor developed a Safety first culture and incentive system to incentivize safety performance and reinforce worker’s self-awareness of their health and safety (Project Management Institute,
