October 2, 2014 – On this date IEM  was awarded a five-year contract to manifest ship and dispose of radioactive and mixed waste for the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) from its site in Gaithersburg Maryland.  (Yes it is pretty much next door to IEM’s Maryland Office!)  In partnership with our favorite transporters waste processors and disposal sites with whom we have provided this service to NIST in the past we look forward to the timely safe and effective execution of the first campaign and every campaign thereafter.  We are honored to have been selected for this important work.
