The Senior Management Team and Principals of American DND possess valuable lessons learned and enormous experience from performing over 25 decommissioning projects in both the nuclear and fossil power industries. Prior Projects range in size from over $50M for complete decommissioning down to projects less than $300K for simple equipment extraction/dismantling tasks. Jobs have been performed all over the country for clients such as Yankee Atomic Energy Company (YAEC) [Projects = Yankee Rowe & Connecticut Yankee] also for “Fleet” projects, for Central & Southwest (CSW), for projects in Waleeka OK, San Benito TX, San Angelo TX, and Abilene TX. Additional prior projects include work for/at Jackson Electric Authority (JEA), Westinghouse Savannah River Site (WSRS – 284F Power House), Con Edison, and Mirant Energy at their Tompkins Cove Facility,  Dairyland Power Corp (DPC) Alma Powerplant (fossil) and the Lacrosse Boiling Water Reactor (LCBWR) and the Genoa Station and numerous other large Industrial Power Houses.

As the project owners decommissioning Subject Matter Expert (SME) American DND provided oversight, consulting and QA/QC engineering throughout the decommissioning process.
