Luminant Generation Company has awarded Irving, Texas-based Fluor Corporation a five year contract for engineering, maintenance, and modification serves for its two-unit Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, which is in Somervell County, Texas, 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
In a statement, Fluor said it would “book the undisclosed contract value into backlog in the second quarter.”
The two companies have a history together that spans more than 30 years. Fluor began providing ongoing maintenance and modification services at four of Luminant's power plants in 1984 and has since grown the relationship to support all of the company's fossil power generation units. Fluor previously serviced the Comanche Peak plant from 1991 until 2006.
Comanche Peak is Luminant’s sole nuclear generation asset. The plant operates two Westinghouse four-loop pressurized water reactors, which produce an aggregate 2,300-megawatts of power – enough energy to power about 1.15 million homes during normal operations and 460,000 homes during periods of peak demand.
