Re: MK Team Wins Chernobyl Shelter Contract

Sandy beat me to this one.

I've worked a couple of years on an MK Ferguson project.  Almost without
exception, they are skilled, conscientious professionals who produce a high
quality product.  Needless to say, the environmental problems of the former
Soviet Union need expertise of the MK caliber.

Congratulations to the MK team!

 MK Team Wins Chernobyl Shelter Contract
 
 BOISE, Idaho, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Morrison Knudsen 
 Corporation (NYSE: MK - news) announced today that it has
 signed, as sponsor of the ICC (MK) Joint Venture, a multimillion-
 dollar contract with EnergoAtom of Ukraine
 (owner-operator responsible for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant) 
 to perform civil engineering consulting services on the
 Chernobyl Shelter Implementation Project (SIP) over the next two 
 years. 
 
 The project is part of the Chernobyl program being funded by the 
 G7, Ukraine and other donor countries, through the
 European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The 
 SIP is a continuation of significant efforts, primarily by
 Ukraine, with international community involvement over the past 12 
 years. 
 
 The project consists of evaluation and integration of existing 
 information, structural investigation, monitoring of existing
 ``Ukrytie'' construction, and geotechnical investigations as well as 
 analyzing the seismic characterization and monitoring, and
 development of a pre-conceptual design to convert the shelter, and 
 eventually the Chernobyl Unit 4, into an environmentally
 safe site. 
 
 ``This contract provides us a new opportunity to expand our 
 activities in Ukraine and continue MK's successful training and
 development of local talent and subcontractors,'' said Thomas H. 
 Zarges, president of the company's Engineers &
 Constructors Group. ``We are proud to bring to this project over five 
 decades of service to the nuclear industry.'' 
 
 The ICC (MK) Joint Venture is comprised of Morrison Knudsen 
 International Company, Inc. (MK), BNFL Engineering Ltd.
 (BNFL), State Scientific-Research Institute of Building 
 Constructions (NIISK), Kiev Scientific R&D Designing Institute
 ``EnergoProekt'' (KIEP), and Interdisciplinary Scientific and 
 Technical Center ``Ukrytie'' (ISTC). 
 
 The Ukrainian partners (NIISK, KIEP and ISTC) bring years of 
 Chernobyl experience in structural, heat mass and nuclear
 safety areas to the joint venture and they hold licenses to perform 
 technical investigations and designs in the nuclear industry in
 Ukraine. ``The Ukrainian team looks forward to combining their 
 years of Chernobyl experience with western technologies to
 resolve the complex engineering issues of converting the shelter to 
 an environmentally safe site,'' said Zarges. 
 
 BNFL's experience spans all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle, 
 from fuel manufacturing and enrichment, to reactor operations
 and power generation, through to used fuel reprocessing, 
 transporting, waste management and ultimately decommissioning. 
 
 Morrison Knudsen Corporation has 8,500 employees at work in 
 more than 35 countries serving the environmental, heavy civil,
 industrial, mining, operations and maintenance, power, process, 
 and transportation markets as an engineer and constructor.
