Pantex cuts the ribbon on the new Flexible Support Facility February 16, which uses the Standardized Acquisition and Recapitalization (STAR) design previously used at the Nevada National Security Site. Reuse of the design is a first in the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) enterprise and is aimed at achieving cost and schedule efficiencies.

AMARILLO, Texas – Representatives from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) joined leaders from Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC at Pantex on February 16 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the site’s new Flexible Support Facility (FSF).

“The completion of the Flexible Support Facility is a significant step toward continuing to modernize Pantex as we fulfill the workload increases at the site over the next several years,” said Pantex Site Manager Colby Yeary.

The 14,400 square-foot building broke ground in September 2020 and achieved beneficial occupancy on February 3, 2023. The FSF will provide support for the nuclear security mission at Pantex. Housing approximately 90 personnel, the new facility helps accommodate part of the general staffing growth occurring at the site. The new facility will house project and maintenance teams, increasing direct communication among those support organizations who help ensure facility availability across the site.

The design of the FSF is based on a Standardized Acquisition and Recapitalization (STAR) design that was previously used at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). The abbr title="Standardized Acquisition and Recapitalization">STAR initiative is aimed at reducing costs and accelerating construction of small office and light laboratory facilities through the use of standard, scalable building designs. Pantex is the first NNSA site to complete a project reusing a STAR design from another site, and the approach is being evaluated for applications across the nuclear security enterprise to achieve cost and schedule efficiencies with each subsequent build. The design used for the FSF is currently being leveraged for two additional projects at the NNSS.

“The project management team was able to overcome challenges with construction during the pandemic and supply-chain issues by monitoring schedule progress, anticipating potential bottlenecks, and implementing solutions to keep the project moving forward,” said Todd Clark, CNS Infrastructure Program Manager. “The lessons learned from this project will help us to gain future efficiencies for project execution, building construction as well as other projects planned for the site.”

Pantex plans to utilize this same design to construct additional mission enabling buildings that further support the ability to deliver the site’s national security mission, including a change house for employees to use for donning work-related clothing and an additional office facility.

Amarillo downtown emergency facility operational

AMARILLO, Texas – The Pantex Plant has a new Alternate Emergency Operations Center (AEOC) and Joint Information Center (JIC) in downtown Amarillo, providing a dedicated space for emergency response teams during drills, exercises, and real emergencies. When not in use as an AEOC/JIC, the space will be utilized by various Pantex departments for training.

“We are excited to utilize this new space in downtown Amarillo,” Jeff Yarbrough, Pantex site manager said. “This facility will enable our emergency response teams to work more efficiently and effectively during drills, exercises, and events.”

“The location is ideal,” said Reeves Easley-McPherson, Emergency Management specialist and AEOC/JIC building manager. “We are right at the entrance to downtown Amarillo, with easy access to both Interstate 40 and Interstate 27.”

DOE orders require the AEOC be located outside the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) – a ten-mile radius around the plant, and the new location is well beyond the EPZ. Previously, the AEOC for the site was located near the Amarillo airport.

The AEOC is an alternate location from which Pantex coordinates information and resources to support incident management activities. The JIC is the central location where public information officials from all participating federal, state, and local agencies collocate during an actual emergency and where news media gather information and updates.

While a JIC would not typically be located in the same place as the AEOC, this new space works for both and provides classroom space for the site to use.

Having a dedicated, standalone JIC enables Pantex and NNSA Production Office (NPO) emergency responders to quickly go into operation during an emergency to provide information to the news media and public. Previously, the JIC was located at various locations within Amarillo College.

The new Pantex AEOC/JIC was first used during an emergency exercise on July 13, 2022.

CNS first met with the Amarillo Area Foundation in 2014 to create an innovative and effective method for contributing to the community in a way that would also better engage Pantex employees. Continued conversations led to creation of the Pantex Community Investment Fund in 2015.

“We are honored to be part of the Panhandle community and, as we pass $1 million in giving since the Community Investment Fund began, we are proud of the many ways the fund has made a difference in the lives of our neighbors thanks to the hard work of our non-profit partners,” said Jason Bohne, CNS senior director of Communications.

“Community contributions of this magnitude have a tremendous ripple effect in the lives of countless Texas Panhandle residents,” Griffin said. “We are truly grateful for this partnership as this combined effort is what leads to change and community improvement.”

Pantex employees who serve on the Community Investment Fund committee are chosen to serve two-year terms to represent their colleagues. Eleven employees participated in 2022.

“By far, my favorite part about the Amarillo Area Foundation’s partnership with CNS was working with the Pantex employees on the Grant Advisory Committee and its leadership,” Griffin said. “Each year, the committee does a thorough and thoughtful job as they recommend funding nonprofits who are benefiting the Texas Panhandle community.”

Pantex, Y-12 honored for “green purchasing” efforts

Amarillo, Texas—The Pantex Plant in Amarillo and the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, turned green into silver and gold respectively, with GreenBuy awards from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for sustainable purchasing. The awards recognize excellence in “green purchasing” that extends beyond minimum compliance.

This is the second year for Pantex and the fourth year for Y-12 to receive a GreenBuy award. Multiple recognitions are significant because GreenBuy awards call for continuous improvement. Both sites are managed and operated by Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS).

By participating in the GreenBuy Program, the sites leverage the federal government’s purchasing dollars to achieve mission goals while improving the marketplace for sustainable products and services, as well as reducing the overall environmental impacts of DOE's operations.

Shab Fardanesh, Senior Sustainable Acquisition Advisor for the DOE's Office of Environment, Health, Safety, and Security, said, “This voluntary program helps DOE sites systematically reduce their footprint through environmentally sustainable purchases. As an added bonus, employees can also use this information to make greener and healthier purchases at home.”

Exceeding the goals

Sites must purchase a minimum of nine products in at least five categories to receive the Gold award. Y-12 exceeded those milestones by purchasing 10 priority products in the requisite categories in fiscal year 2021. The categories range from lowering health and environmental impacts to reducing maintenance and waste-management costs.

Pantex exceeded the goals for the Silver award by purchasing six priority products in four categories.

CNS Sustainability and Stewardship Manager Jan Jackson said, “Both sites achieved these awards by demonstrating excellence in sustainable acquisition for recycling electronics and purchasing of paper towels, toilet tissue, other consumables, and electronic equipment as priority products.”

Sherith Hudson, CNS Sustainable Acquisition Program coordinator, added, “These awards recognize that the CNS Sustainable Acquisition Program trained 399 employees at Y-12 and Pantex involved in specifying and procuring materials, products, and services during Fiscal Year 2021.”
