Packaging, Characterization for Bruce Power’s 16 CANDU Steam Generators
– Edited by Stephen Heiser –
Studsvik AB has selected WMG, Inc to perform the characterization, package qualification, and transportation oversight for 16 CANDU Reactor Steam Generators that will be shipped from the Canada’s Bruce Power Nuclear Facility to Studsvik AB’s facility located in Nyköping, Sweden.
As part of its contract with Studsvik AB, WMG will perform preliminary engineering assessments and final characterization for each of the 16 CANDU Steam Generators. Most significantly, under a “special arrangement” standard with the Canadian Regulatory Authority, WMG is responsible to complete the engineering evaluations, generate the supporting calculations, and the requisite documentation that will authenticate each Steam Generator as being a qualified “package.” Lastly, as part of its oversight responsibilities, WMG will generate the required transportation documentation necessary to accompany international shipments of this type.
WMG has been serving the nuclear industry with its engineering services, project management skills, and software development capabilities for more than 30 years. RADMAN™, its NRC Approved radwaste/radmaterial management software application, operates at several government and industrial facilities, and at nearly every operating nuclear power facility in the United States. WMG’s service capabilities also include major/large component disposition (e.g., Reactor Pressure Vessels, Heads, and Steam Generators), D&D Planning and Support (e.g., Big Rock Point, Humboldt Bay, West Valley), Specialty Package Design, Irradiated Hardware, and
Spent Fuel Pool Management Services (e.g., characterization, packaging plans). WMG possesses a comprehensive record in material characterization, packaging, licensing, and regulatory training, which continues to serve and improve the operating capabilities of each of its clients.
