15 May 2006 -- Babcock & Wilcox Canada announced Friday that the company has signed a multi-million dollar contract with Bruce Power for nuclear services on Units 1 and 2 steam drums and preheaters to determine overall condition in support of the restart and continued operation of the units.
The scope of work involves the preparation of all required documentation, equipment, tooling and personnel to execute the following:
• open and close of Units 1 and 2 steam drums and detailed visual inspection of steam drum internal components, open and close of the Units 1 and 2 preheaters
• design, manufacture, and installation of replacement preheater divider plate assemblies
• Eddy Current Testing of preheater tubes
• visual inspection of internal preheater components
This detailed inspection and condition assessment will provide Bruce Power with the technical data needed to establish preventative maintenance and future inspection programs to support plant operations for a number of years. The project involves approximately 50,000 manhours with anticipated completion in mid 2007.
B&W Canada is also manufacturing 16 replacement steam generators for the Restart Project. The RSGs will be engineered and manufactured at B&W Canada's Cambridge, Ontario, facility and are scheduled for delivery to the Bruce A site between 2007 and 2008. Engineering, material procurement and manufacturing are already underway. B&W also has the contract for the supply, installation and removal of the containment isolation bulkheads for the Restart Project.
