PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2, 2004 -- Westinghouse Electric Co. announced its Repair, Replacement and Automation Services (RRAS) unit has won a $14 million sole-source contract to provide a wide range of replacement parts and services to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.
The contract calls for Westinghouse RRAS to provide two sets of reactor coolant pump internals, hydraulic nuts and studs, and full-scope pump and motor change-out field services. The new equipment will be supplied to support Diablo Canyon's fall 2005 and spring 2006 refueling outages.
Westinghouse also announced that it would perform off-site chemical decontamination and rebuild services for the pumps to be removed from the plant. This post-outage work is scheduled to begin at Westinghouse's Waltz Mill site near Madison, Pa., beginning in 2006.
Michele M. DeWitt, vice president of Westinghouse RRAS, said the contract is significant for a number of reasons. "The comprehensive package of field, shop and engineering services is one of the largest integrated pump and motor product and services contracts ever received by Westinghouse," she said. "More importantly, its scope and duration will enable Pacific Gas & Electric Company and Westinghouse to further strengthen our already strong, mutually beneficial relationship."
Westinghouse Electric Company, wholly owned by BNFL plc of the United Kingdom, is the world's pioneering nuclear power company and is a leading supplier of nuclear plant products and technologies to utilities throughout the world. Today, Westinghouse technology is the basis for approximately one- half of the world's operating nuclear plants.
