Operating Segments


In accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, the Company defines an operating segment as a business activity:


●

from which we may earn revenue and incur expenses;

●

whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and

●

for which discrete financial information is available.


The Company currently has two reporting segments, which are based on a service offering approach. This however, excludes corporate headquarters, which does not generate revenue, and our discontinued operations, which includes all facilities as discussed in “Note 10 – Discontinued Operations and Divestitures.”


Our reporting segments are defined as follows:


TREATMENT SEGMENT, which includes:


 

-

nuclear, low-level radioactive, mixed waste (containing both hazardous and low-level radioactive constituents), hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment, processing and disposal services primarily through four uniquely licensed and permitted treatment and storage facilities; and


 

-

research and development activities to identify, develop and implement innovative waste processing techniques for problematic waste streams.


SERVICES SEGMENT, which includes:


 

-

On-site waste management services to commercial and government customers;


 

-

Technical services, which include:


 

o

Such services capability includes: project investigation; radiological engineering; partial and total plant D&D; facility decontamination, dismantling, demolition, and planning; site restoration; site construction; logistics; transportation; and emergency response; and
