Nuclear Laboratory Decommissioning - SUNY Maritime
SUNY Maritime has retained MJW in 2002, to decommission a nuclear science teaching laboratory located on the SUNY Maritime campus situated near the northern end of the
Throgs Neck Bridge in the borough of Queens in New York City. The decommissioning project includes a complete search for any displaced radioactive sources, complete
inventory of all sources, retrieval of several neutron sources used for activation experiments and finally the dismantling of a sub critical reactor assembly. MJW
prepared, packaged and shipped all radioactive material off campus to appropriate locations and performed a final survey to release the lab space for unrestricted use.

EG&G Mound Applied Technologies, Inc. Miamisburg, Ohio
From 1997 to 2001, MJW was contracted to perform internal dose assessments for individuals who worked at the Mound facility in Ohio between the early 1940's through 1988.
This work, the largest project of its kind ever performed for Department of Energy workers, included intensive records review and research, nuclide biokinetic model development,
creation of dose screening algorithms and performance of complex dose assessments using specialized software. Phase I of the contract was completed in September 2000. Phase II
was completed in September of 2001. MJW staff completed 1550 dose assessments for the Phase II portion of the project. A total of more than 150,000 person hours were required to
complete the project at a cost of approximately $9 million.
Praxair, Inc.
Since 1998, MJW has provided radiological consulting services to Praxair, mainly to review and provide commentary on US Army Corps of Engineer documents related to the cleanup
of FUSRAP legacy material on the Praxair site. The cleanup is being conducted in accordance with CERCLA and follows MARSSIM protocols. MJW has also assisted Praxair in terminating
their NYSDOL radioactive materials license and disposing of small amounts of materials used under that license.

Dose Assessment
In September of 2002, the team of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), MJW and Dade Moeller and Associates (DADE) were
awarded a multi-million dollar contract to assist the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) located in
Cincinnati, OH with the implementation
of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA). This federal law allows for compensation of DOE workers
or their survivors for radiation-related cancers. MJW's role in the project is to provide our internal dosimetry expertise to calculate
doses to claimants. MJW staff are also involved with management and tracking of claims and interviews of claimants. This five-year contract
is expected to serve about 40,000 claimants.
