Letter of Intent to B&W for the project.
It also represents the first definitive
milestone in the U.S. Department of
Energy’s (DOE) recently initiated SMR
Licensing Technical Support Program for
commercial demonstration of SMRs by
2022. The DOE selected B&W mPower
in November 2012 as the recipient of the
Program’s competitively bid cost-share
funding grant.
Work at the Clinch River site will
commence once B&W mPower and the
DOE sign a cooperative agreement for
the grant funds. The contract defines the
respectiveresponsibilitiesandworkscopes
for TVA and B&W to conduct the Clinch
River Site geological characterization,
develop a Preliminary Safety Analysis
Report, and prepare an Environmental
Assessment for deploying up to four
mPower SMR reactors. TVA currently
expects to submit the Construction Permit
Application to the NRC in 2015.

Firewater Pumps
ClydeUnion Pumps
, an SPX Brand,
received a contract to supply a specialised
fire protection pump for the Iberdrola
S.A. Cofrentes nuclear power plant in
Spain. The order for the seismic fire
protection pump was awarded to SPX
in December 2012 by the plant operator
Iberdrola S.A. with a scheduled delivery
in March 2014.
The CUP-VS1 vertical multi-
stage pump run by diesel motor, will be
manufactured out of the 20,500 sqm SPX
facility inAnnecy, France. The pump will
be designed according to ASME VIII and
NFPA 20 standard for the installation of
pumps for fire protection. In addition, the
pump will be IEEE seismic qualification
compliant. SPX’s pumping technology
for firefighting applications ensures
that the pump operates effectively and
remains functional when subjected to
seismic disturbances.
The nuclear power plant, located
near Valencia in Spain, is undergoing a
global improvement project according to
a new Spanish regulation for seismic fire
protection systems in nuclear plants.
