Awarded by Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO), the contract will be executed jointly between Westinghouse Electric Sweden and Toshiba, and covers production and installation of 28 new guide tubes and supply of electrical installation and instrument and control (I&C) cubicles for control and measuring.
Westinghouse will be responsible for management of the overall project, including mechanical/electrical installation and commissioning.
The TIP system is expected to be used for calibration of incore neutron flux detectors that monitor the power levels and distribution in the Olkiluoto 1 and 2 units.
Westinghouse Northern Europe vice president and managing director Johan Hallen said, "We believe this agreement reflects TVO’s high confidence in the quality and reliability that Westinghouse and Toshiba together can bring to TVO."
Toshiba Power Systems Company Nuclear Energy Systems & Sevices Division vice president Mamoru Hatazawa said, "Toshiba’s TIP system can interface with various types of plant computer and human-machine interfaces.
Majority of the equipment is scheduled to be manufactured and assembled in Japan, and will undergo a factory acceptance test in December 2015 prior to shipment.
Delivery to the Olkiluoto reactors will take place in January 2016, while installation is scheduled during planned outages at Unit 1 in 2016 and Unit 2 in 2017.
