About Nuclear
Washington Division has shown a strong commitment to the nuclear industry since its inception.
We are the engineer/constructor of over 35,000 megawatts; we maintain a talent base that has accomplished thousands of life extension modifications for over 100 operating units; and we have established a comprehensive and responsive maintenance program.
We have provided services to virtually every nuclear power plant operating in the United States today. We were the architect, engineer or constructor of record for 49 commercial nuclear generating units—both boiling water reactor (BWR) and pressurized water reactor(PWR)—around the world including:
- Brazil
- Italy
- Japan
- Mexico
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Taiwan
- United States
Our construction-management work includes a processing facility in New Mexico that will be a key source of enriched uranium for U.S. commercial nuclear power plants.
. Our nuclear experience encompasses:
- New Generation /Life Cycle Facilities
- Technical Support Services and Modifications
- Major Component Replacement
- Decontamination and Decommissioning
Steam Generator Replacement
SGT, our joint venture with AREVA NP, specializes in the demanding and complex tasks required to replace steam generators and reactor vessel heads. SGT has been recognized for award-winning performance under the most aggressive project schedules during outages. Visit SGT Web Site. Some of SGT’s recent awards include:
- Power Engineering magazine’s 2006 Nuclear Project of the Year for the steam generator replacement at Entergy’s Arkansas Nuclear One
- Power Engineering magazine’s 2005 Best Nuclear Project for the reactor vessel head placement at Florida Power & Light’s Turkey Point Units 3 & 4
- 2006 Platts Global Energy Award winner for the ENR/McGraw-Hill Energy Construction Project of the Year for the steam generator replacement at AmerenUE’s Callaway Plant Unit 1
Full Market Capabilities:
Our cross-market capabilities with Energy & Environment and Mining provide us with the specialized resources and expertise to provide integrated solutions covering the entire nuclear lifecycle– from uranium mining to licensing, engineering, design, procurement, construction, startup, maintenance and modification of nuclear power plants to nuclear decommissioning and waste management.
We employ more than 7,300 nuclear professionals – significantly more than any other engineering and construction company.
We are part of the team managing the Idaho National Laboratory, designated by the U.S. Department of Energy as the leading nuclear energy and research center in the United States. We are consultants on an advanced burner reactor and a consolidated fuel treatment center to pioneer new ways of dealing with used nuclear fuel and reducing the volume of nuclear waste. We are also partners with multiple technology companies internationally in the development and launch of even more efficient reactor technologies.
We are well positioned from our extensive nuclear experience and talent base to expand in order to meet the accelerating demand for nuclear power.
