Fluor Daniel becomes the second company to challenge Westinghouse for the DOE Savannah River Site project when its contract ends in September 2006.

Sanford says South Carolina growth relies on firms like Fluor. The company already handles Fernald Ohio and Hanford Washington decontamination and demolition.
