Market Research Resumes for DOE Long-term Mercury Storage

摘要

Soon after withdrawing its designation of Texas-based Waste Control Specialists as its long-term storage site for elemental mercury, the Department of Energy is seeking information about other potentially suitable sites.Responses are due by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Nov. 4 to DOE’s request for information (RFI) for a leased facility and services related to the long-term management and storage of elemental mercury waste. Waste Control Specialists (WCS) could still be selected, DOE has said. "WCS is evaluating the possibility," of participating in the planned solicitation, the company’s president, David Carlson, said Wednesday in a statement emailed through a spokesman.
