Logistics and Transportation
EnergySolutions Canada utilizes two EnergySolutions transportation companies to transport radioactive material for processing. EnergySolutions owns and operates PHTS Logistics which has been in business since 1996 for transportation of material within Canada. PHTS has a fleet of more than 45 vehicles to fulfill the transportation needs of its Canadian customers. The company manages small shipments and loads weighing up to 96,000 pounds. Headquartered near Kincardine, Ontario and close to Bruce Power, PHTS provides logistical services to the entire nuclear Canadian market. For material that is processed in our Tennessee facilities, EnergySolutions uses Hittman Transportation to transport materials across the border into the United States for processing and volume reduction or recycling. Hittman transportation is headquartered in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and manages transportation of nuclear material across the United States.
