TMC has extensive CBRNE expertise procuring, delivering, and providing training for equipment used in support of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Second Line of Defense Program. TMC possesses deep experience in decommissioning nuclear and other hazardous sites. We are currently providing project management for the containment structure at Chernobyl. Our teams have decommissioned and destroyed launch vehicles and silos in Belorussia and Ukraine. We have also decontaminated and dismantled chemical weapons facilities in Uzbekistan.
Client SuccessChernobyl New Safe Confinement
TMC is supporting the construction management effort for the Chernobyl New Safe Confinement (NSC) structure. With 120 local employees on site, we are ensuring that the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters in history is secured and poses no addition threat for generations to come.
TMC Ukrainian nuclear engineers and other technical experts provide first‐hand technical and local national regulatory knowledge of the Chernobyl facility at every stage of the implementation, including the New Safe Confinement Conceptual Design phase.
TMC ensures compliance with all Ukrainian national labor regulations, including the stringent and specialized requirements of the Exclusion Zone around Chernobyl. TMC provides recurring specialized safety and health training that is required for all personnel working on the project and ensures general regulatory compliance by staying abreast of all licensing and certification requirements.
As part of our work on the Chernobyl New Safe Confinement structure, TMC has helped to build and continues to maintain the IT system that supports the project. Our team stood up the IT systems at the onset of the project and has maintained them throughout the project with full life cycle management solutions. TMC’s Network support team keeps the Chernobyl Safe Confinement Program connected to the world even in its remote location.

Temporary Nuclear Waste Storage and Processing Facilities Design and Construction
The Arctic Military Environmental Cooperation (AMEC) Program was a joint program between the U.S., Russia, and Norway that supported the treatment, management, and disposal of nuclear and non-nuclear waste produced in northwest Russia during the dismantlement of Russian Navy nuclear submarines. The effort focused on the design, fabrication, and construction of low-level radiological waste handling, packaging, storage systems, and facilities.
In coordination with the Russian Navy and Norwegian government, TMC designed and manufactured transportable nuclear waste processing facilities for the safe decommissioning of Russian Navy submarines and their reactors. Once the waste was contained, TMC managed the transport across Russia for final storage.
TMC provided the complete range of design, program management, and integration services: risk, scope, and cost management, subcontractor management, construction management, procurement and shipping, logistics, translation and interpretation, international conference management, and acceptance testing. Specifically, TMC led multi-country contract negotiations and led the procurement of materials need to build the system. TMC also led the coordination of getting all of these materials to the remote location.
Cooperative Biological Engagement Program in Central Asia and the Caucuses
A joint program of local governments and the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), The CBEP program’s goal is to develop Threat Agent Detection and Response (TADR) surveillance networks to monitor, identify, and control the outbreak and spread of human, animal, and plant pathogens.
TMC has managed the provision of in-country staffing, logistics, and professional services for the DTRA’s Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and the Republic of Georgia). As a teaming partner to Bechtel National, Inc. (BNI), TMC recruited, screened, and hired more than 140 host country employees who filled the role of dedicated full-time local BTRP staff. These TMC staff members were specialists in environmental and structural engineering, industrial hygiene and safety, biological and medical sciences, and administrative, linguistic, and logistical disciplines. TMC’s local national employees provided key technical support to the U.S. team in the assessment, planning, design, and construction of more than a dozen Environmental Monitoring Stations (EMSs) in high-priority areas of focus.
One of the major program achievements was the dismantlement of Biokombinat in Tbilisi, Georgia – a site once responsible for the manufacture of biological weapons of mass destruction. TMC engineering and construction staff identified key materials and equipment in the facility, marked them for removal and destruction, and monitored local construction subcontractors to ensure the safety of all workers. TMC’s in-country staff and local and regional subcontractors also worked on the construction of three Zonal Diagnostic Laboratories (ZDLs) and four Regional Laboratories for the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health (NCDC) of Georgia, as well as the construction of the Central Reference Laboratory (CRL).
Cooperative Biological Engagement Program
For the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute on Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) TMC provides professional level administrative, clinical medical research, and laboratory support to advance program goals to engage and train host-country science personnel in the identification and diagnosis of Especially Dangerous Pathogens (EDPs).
In Georgia and Azerbaijan, USAMRIID-led teams of local scientists employed by TMC conduct bio-essay studies, focused on influenza and other pathogens common and particularly active in the region.
In Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, teams of highly-qualified local national scientists employed by TMC train medical and laboratory personnel employed by national public health systems in laboratory safety and security, the use of advance laboratory equipment and pathogen tracking systems, and advanced pathogen analysis methodologies.
