WRT/RMD Receives License From NRC For Uranium Removal From Drinking Water
Wheat Ridge, CO — The NRC (U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission) issued the 'first of it's kind' Materials License to R.M.D. Operations, LLC, a WRT® (Water Remediation Technology, LLC) sister company, to remove uranium from drinking water. WRT removes uranium from water using it's Z-92™ proprietary Treatment Process. This license allows RMD to store, handle and remove the uranium-loaded treatment media, eliminating the need for water providers to obtain their own NRC license. The WRT approach significantly limits the long term liability for the water provider. This innovative, multi-site license is the result of a 2½ year endeavor by WRT/RMD to obtain a national license for the 16 NRC-regulated, non-agreement states. Individual water providers will come under RMD's license through a straightforward registration process. WRT provides an environmentally sound solution for the removal of radium and uranium from drinking water using their proprietary treatment processes. WRT’s process equipment and long term full service agreements include treatment media, the radioactive licensing, training, handling and disposal of treatment residuals on a guaranteed cost per gallon basis. WRT/RMD has radioactive materials licenses already issued in several agreement states where full scale systems and pilots are operating.
The issuance of this license takes WRT one step closer to being the premier company removing radioactive and other select contaminants from water sources, by providing cost effective, long term, total solutions, including the environmentally safe disposal of residuals.
