EnergySolutions Appoints Alan Parker Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer.

SALT LAKE CITY -- EnergySolutions announced today the appointment of nuclear industry veteran Alan Parker to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. In this capacity, Parker will direct all North American operations including Federal and Commercial services and facilities. In addition, he will support firm-wide global strategic growth initiatives.

"We could not be more pleased that Alan has joined our management team," said Steve Creamer, President and CEO of EnergySolutions. "He's one of the most seasoned executives in the nuclear industry and has been at the epicenter of solving some of the largest, most technically complicated, highly visible nuclear challenges in the world. Business success is largely about having the best and the brightest people - - Alan clearly fits that bill and will contribute a great deal in helping EnergySolutions realize its mission objectives and global growth potential".

"I'm delighted to have this opportunity to work with Steve and to contribute to the EnergySolutions team" said Parker. "It was a very difficult decision to leave CH2MHill, a great company, with an excellent leadership team and track record. However, Steve's vision for EnergySolutions and the prospect of helping build a global nuclear solutions firm was simply too exciting and too challenging to pass up."

Alan Parker is a veteran of the nuclear industry.
