Martin M. Koffel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of URS commented: "We are delighted to have been selected as the preferred bidder for the Sellafield site, which is the UK's most important nuclear facility. URS has unparalleled experience in nuclear power, decommissioning, clean-up and process operation, and we believe our selection underscores the leadership, technical knowledge and long-term commitment of both URS and our business partners. We look forward to demonstrating our broad capabilities in support of the NDA on this important project," Koffel said.

"Our consortium brings together the leaders in nuclear decommissioning and recycling in the US, the UK and France," said Tom Zarges, President of URS' Washington Division. "Our team is confident that it can safely and efficiently meet the challenges presented by this historic and complex site while achieving real savings for UK taxpayers. We look forward to finalizing the contract with the NDA successfully."

"Our objective is to set the highest standards in health, safety, security and environmental protection," said Robert A. Pedde, President of the Nuclear Management Partners. "We are committed to reducing site hazards cost effectively through clean-up and decommissioning, while maximizing commercial value in support of the Sellafield mission."

The work covers the Sellafield, Calder Hall, Windscale and Capenhurst sites which all form part of the Sellafield Site License Company.
