US-based GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) and Bechtel on 22 March formed an alliance to offer decommissioning and dismantlement services for NPPs in Germany and Sweden.
The two companies will provide a full range of decommissioning services including pre-shutdown planning, licensing, project development and management, dismantling, demolition, waste handling, and site closeout.
North Carolina-based GEH says it offers comprehensive decommissioning project expertise, including experience gained from reactor internals replacement projects in Japan and segmentation scope for extended power uprate reactor internals replacement projects in the USA. Virginia-based Bechtel has more than 30 years of experience in clean-up, decommissioning, remediation and closure at more than 500 contaminated sites across the world, including US Department of Energy sites in five states and at the UK's Sellafield site.
