Exelon Awards Operational Excellence to Duratek

"This achievement provides a testimonial that Duratek is focused on delivering excellence in customer care by integrating our core valus of safety & compliance, people, integrity, quality, and innovation in all that we do."

Darold Morris (left) and Alex Zarraby (right) developed a process that breaks down ethylene glycol into two ions that can be effectively removed with resin. The process consists of ultraviolet light treatment with hydrogen peroxide injection, followed by a Duratek liquid waste processing system. This process earned the duo “Best Innovation”  recognition in 2004.Exelon awarded Duratek its “Operational Excellence” award during its annual Key Supplier Conference in September 2005. This award represents significant achievement and recognition since Duratek was chosen out of approximately 40 key Exelon suppliers that included much larger companies like Microsoft, GE Nuclear, Westinghouse, Framatone, Fluor Enterprises, Sargent & Lundy, and many others. Duratek was nominated for the “Operational Excellence” award due to several key distinguishable accomplishments:
  • stepping up to challenges and consistently placing “skin-in the game” related to on-site liquid waste processing services;
  • consistently improving on-site performance for liner packaging efficiency, transportation, and procedural adherence;
  • helping reduce operational radiation dose by 35 percent and sustaining these reductions since 2003; and
  • successfully responding to a 2004 emergency call from Clinton Station to treat an inadvertent plant release of glycol coolant and avoiding a plant shutdown (see photo).
