Cleaning Up After the Cold War

Bechtel has a long history of making the world a safer and cleaner place by helping clean up after the Cold War. We have nearly 40 years of experience in environmental cleanup and management at more than 500 contaminated sites across the world.

One of Bechtel’s historically significant contributions is our service to the national program to clean up waste left over from the production of U.S. nuclear weapons. Our contributions include removing and remediating contaminated soil and groundwater, demolishing decommissioned nuclear reactors and processing facilities, and treating tens of millions of gallons of liquid radioactive waste stored in underground tanks.
