EnergySolutions completes acquisition of BNG America

Salt Lake-based EnergySolutions said Thursday it has completed its acquisition of BNG America.

BNG, with headquarters in Virginia, had been a subsidiary of British Nuclear Group. The owners of Envirocare of Utah bought BNG America and merged it with Envirocare and an Envirocare division, Scientech D&D, to create EnergySolutions.

R. Steve Creamer, president and chief executive officer of EnergySolutions, said the acquisition "enables the company to provide a full range of waste management services, from classification and decommissioning and decontamination to disposition. It is a significant part of our ongoing strategy to provide innovative and cutting-edge solutions for the nuclear industry."

The acquisition includes the North American rights to the reprocessing technology currently in use in Great Britain on spent nuclear fuel.
