- • Lucius Pitkin Inc., Western Uranium Project (Grand Junction, Colorado)
- New York-based firm that served as the prime service contractor for the Grand Junction office of the Atomic Energy Commission. They operated a concentrate sampling plant, an analytical laboratory, a borehole logging service, and a mineralogic laboratory. They also performed purchasing, maintenance, construction, and other related services, in addition to providing a unified guard force for the Grand Junction Atomic Energy Office. These operations served the Atomic Energy Commission’s goals of acquiring, researching, and experimenting on uranium for use in energy and nuclear arms production. They contracted under a cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contract, which means they were reimbursed for the cost of operations and paid a previously negotiated annual fee. According to a booklet produced by the Grand Junction Office of the Atomic Energy Commission dated to March 1970, the Western Uranium Project manager was Martin N. Haines, and the Assistant Project Manager was J. N. Latimer.
