In 1997 we understood that the changing missions for the DOE complex would benefit from the most successful experiences from the nuclear industry. We formed TMC to provide access to proven nuclear systems engineering experience and ideas that promote success in the transition to more regulation, more formality of operations and more emphasis on the transition to a culture of organization from the culture of research and development.

Services ImageWe understand how to efficiently manage engineering design of complex systems and related technology bases, including costs schedules and project controls. We offer expertise in nuclear systems engineering, risk and reliability analysis, safety engineering, logistics and security assessments, regulatory management, project management. Our professionals have demonstrated success in planning technology development for major acquisition programs involving extensive R&D, design and construction, including the selection, design and installation of radiation portal monitors at airports, seaports and border crossings in foreign countries.

Our engineers and technologists provide the right expertise at the right time to allow projects to succeed. Since 1997, TMC has successfully completed about a hundred tasks and projects for the national laboratory.
