Noah Chemicals is a proud and trusted supplier to nearly all the United States Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories across the country. We have been instrumental in the DOE’s environmental management efforts, specifically regarding the immobilization of nuclear waste. This immobilization process, called “vitrification”, involves combining radioactive waste with glass-forming chemicals and melting the mixture to produce a glass mass that contains the radioactive material, thereby rendering it inactive.

Beginning with the West Valley Demonstration Project in 1995 (the first project in the nation to use the vitrification process), Noah has been supplying chemicals to test the process capabilities of the various plants, as well as to assist in the vitrification process itself. We continue our efforts in radioactive waste disposal for the nuclear complex to this day.

Many of the research and development projects in modern nuclear energy require very specialized and high purity materials. Noah Chemicals provides the necessary materials to develop the next generation of nuclear power plants being pioneered by national laboratories and private companies. Unlike traditional Nuclear Power Plants, Smaller Modular Reactors (SMR) are less costly and can be installed directly at specific regions of large cities.

Our longevity in this field gives us a distinct advantage of experience in supplying the Department of Energy complex the necessary materials to continue its mission of protecting the environment and developing the science of tomorrow.
