MONTREAL, March 4, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Atkins Energy
Global Solutions, LLC, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group (TSX:
SNC), is pleased to announce that it has been selected by Tokyo
Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO) to continue to
deliver high integrity containers (HICs) to store secondary
radioactive waste from the processing of radioactive liquid
effluents at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in
Japan. This nuclear contract is
within SNCL Engineering Services, the cornerstone of our strategy
moving forward to greater growth and support for our partner and
customer.
"We are honoured that TEPCO continues to select us to provide
HICs on this important project," said Sandy
Taylor, President, Nuclear, SNC-Lavalin. "The containers are
essential for the clean-up and containment of the radioactive waste
at Fukushima and are a key component of the water decontamination
systems."
HICS are one element of a portfolio of nuclear products and
technologies offered by SNC-Lavalin for nuclear waste management.
SNC-Lavalin offers expertise throughout the entire nuclear life
cycle from concept, design and technology development to new-build
programs, and from asset management through waste management and
decommissioning.
The events in March 2011 at the
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant resulted in the need for a
process to treat radioactive liquid waste. SNC-Lavalin's advanced
liquid waste processing system (ALPS) was transferred under license
to our partner Toshiba to deploy for TEPCO at the Fukushima site.
In January 2020, the ALPS technology
was celebrated at Fukushima Daiichi, as a significant milestone in
safely treating more than 1 million cubic meters of radioactive
liquid effluent was achieved. In the ALPS treatment process,
SNC-Lavalin's HICs are used to store the radioactive solid waste
generated during the liquid effluent decontamination process.
