15
eight steam generators for Bruce B’s Unit
6, which will go offline for refurbishment
starting in 2020. The contract follows
a memorandum of understanding,
which was signed by both companies
in December of 2015 after the Ontario
government announced that Bruce Power
will advance a long-term, incremental life
extension program.
The contract is expected to secure
over 100 jobs in both engineering and
skilled labour for Cambridge-based
BWXT Canada through 2020, which is
when the units will ship from Cambridge
to Bruce Power, located near Kincardine,
Ontario.
BWXT Canada has supplied all
steam generators installed at the Bruce
Nuclear Generating Station since the
station went online in 1977.

Savannah River
Fluor Corporation
announced that
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has
exercised its option to extend the current
management and operating contract at the
Savannah River Site near Aiken, South
Carolina, for an additional 22 months.
The contract is currently being executed
by Savannah River Nuclear Solutions,
LLC (SRNS), a Fluor-led partnership,
together with SN3 Stoller Newport News
Nuclear and Honeywell. Fluor will book
the undisclosed contract value in the third
quarter of 2016.
SRNS was originally awarded
the Savannah River maintenance and
operating contract in January 2008 after
an open and competitive bid process. By
exercising the option to extend the term of
the contract, DOE and SRNS will continue
uninterrupted management and operation
activities as outlined in the contract.
DOE’s Savannah River Site focuses
on supporting and maintaining the nuclear
weapons stockpile as well as processing
and storing nuclear materials in support
of U.S. nuclear non-proliferation efforts.
Work performed at the site includes
environmental management and the
cleanup of legacy materials, facilities
and wastes left over from the Cold
War. The Savannah River National
Laboratory, a federally-funded research
and development center, is also located at
the site.

Corporation, telephone: (469) 398-7621.
Engineering Design
Harris Pye UK Ltd
has been
awarded a contract by GE Steam Power
Systems for engineering design work
on two tank sets, including all required
services, for the turbine halls of EdF’s
Hinkley Point C nuclear power station in
Somerset, UK. Manufacturing contracts
will follow, now that the final decision
has been taken on Hinkley Point C.
Each tank set comprises a flash
tank; horizontal head tank; vertical H2
gas separator tank; horizontal service air
receiver tank; two horizontal control air
receiver tanks; horizontal hydraulic seals
tank; horizontal demineralised water
storage tank; vertical surge tank; and a
horizontal buffer tank. The design contract
encompasses mechanical designs, risk
analysis, calculations and drafting.
With the UK government having
given the go ahead for this project Harris
Pye sees the building of the Hinkley Point
station as a major opportunity to expand
on its current exposure in the land-based
power generation sector, which has been
growing steadily over the last three years.

Full Scope Simulator
L-3 MAPPS
announced that it has
signed a service contract with Liaoning
Hongyanhe Nuclear Power (LHNP) to
update the reactor core model on the
Hongyanhe Phase I full scope simulator.
Service will start immediately, and
the updated model is scheduled to be
completed in the fourth quarter of 2016.
L-3’s Orchid Core Builder will be used
to update the simulator’s fuel cycle data to the
latest plant data. The updated Comet Plus™
reactor model will support an 18-month
refueling cycle to reflect the upgraded
refueling cycle undertaken at the nuclear plant.
Orchid Core Builder is L-3 MAPPS’
graphical utility for the easy creation and
validation of cycle-specific reactor core
data. The utility generates an advanced
reactor kinetics model (Comet Plus)
Torq N’ Seal Heat
Exchanger Plugs
provide a mechanical
contact seal when
installed into the
tubesheet area of a leaking
tube. With just a 3/8” drive
torque wrench and 400
in. lbs. of applied torque, a
Torq N’ Seal plug can ensure
positive sealing to 6,500 psi.
