  • Full-scope BWR Services

  • 1Grounded in ExperienceToshiba and ABB nuclear technology, Westinghouse operating experience, and career BWR technical talent have converged to make Westinghouse one of the worlds premier BWR service organizations, focused on your operating plant success through safe and reliable operation maximized power outputand improved outage performance.

    Since 1980 Westinghouse has supplied products and services to BWR nuclear plants around the world and has helped these plants meet the ever-present challenge of improving availability, performance and safety.

    Westinghouse BWR Services: A Full Complement of Service Solutions for Your BWR Plant Needs

    Westinghouse Electric Company, the worlds pioneering nuclear power company, supplied the first commercial pressurized water reactor (PWR) in 1957 at Shippingport, Pennsylvania (USA). Today, Westinghouse is a fully integrated, worldwide supplier of both pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) services.

    In 2000 ABBs nuclear businesses (ABB Atom) were integrated into Westinghouse Electric Company and renamed, Westinghouse Atom ABB. This acquisition further expanded Westinghouses BWR capabilities and market presence. Six years later, Westinghouse was acquired by Toshiba Corporation, one of the worlds largest global nuclear power organizations. Toshiba has made significant investments in BWR technology and is now widely regarded as an industry leader in state-of-the-art BWR technology.

  • 2Westinghouse experience plus Toshiba and ABB technology a winning combination

    for BWR plant success.

    In 2009, the company officially opened its U.S. Boiling Water Reactor Service Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee (USA). At this unique service site, customers, industry representatives and employees receive training on the safe maintenance and refueling of boiling water reac-tors in U.S., and some European, nuclear power plants. The Service Center features a full-scale BWR cavity with vessel, internals, spent fuel pool and refueling bridge, two 33-ton cranes and an undervessel mock-up.

    Westinghouse, a leading supplier to the nuclear power industry, has personnel at locations around the world supplying technology-based and experience-proven products and services to the BWR fleet. With 139 operating units, Toshiba and Westinghouse today represent the largest worldwide nuclear operations experience base, with BWRs making up more than 20 percent of their combined original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fleet. Toshibas 17 BWR plants in Japan and Westinghouses 9 BWR OEM plants (original ASEA-Atom NSSS) in the Nordic region provide a global OEM experience base. Westinghouse has expanded its investment in BWR support in recent years with the addition of BWR-focused engineering offices in San Jose, California; and Charlotte, North Carolina (USA).

    Jet Pump RS-1 weld repair

    4

    Internals Repair InnovationJet Pump RS-1 weld cracking has occurred at several BWR nuclear plants in the United States and Asia. These instances generally have been intergranular stress corrosion cracking related; however, the cracking has been accelerated due to fatigue loading brought on by vibrations in the jet pump assembly. Westinghouse recently repaired two (2) RS-1 welds. The repair design employs slots and pockets that havebeenElectricalDischargeMachined(EDM) into the pipe wall to secure a clamp. The clamp structurally replaces the functionality of the RS-1 weld.

  • Fluid Dynamics-based ResonanceWestinghouse has the capability to test and analyze the effect of vortex shedding, which results in unwanted acoustic resonance. Mitigation approaches have been developed, from changing the flow field to addressing the resonance directly. Installation of an Acoustic Side Branch (ASB) modifies the resonance that exists in the standpipes connecting the main steam lines (MSLs) to the safety relief valves (SRVs).TheadditionoftheASBtothestandpipeshifts the resonant frequency of the standpipe, thereby eliminating the acoustic standing wave generated by vortex shedding at EPU flow conditions. This provides a dampening effect on the acoustic energy input into the system.

    mitigationWestinghouse mitigation products provide proactive approaches to preventing issues and avoiding costly repairs.

    Underwater Laser Beam Weld Repair Fullyautomaticviableunderwaterrepair option

    Underwater Laser Beam Welding ProcessIn the past, underwater welding was typically performed manually or using mechanized welding equipment and an arc welding process. Today, the welding and machining group of Westinghouse has added laser beam welding to its toolbox as a viable underwater repair option for use in the nuclear power industry.

    Laser peening of core shrouds provides a long-term solution to relieve stresses that contribute to core shroud cracking.This mitigation helps to avoid potential shroud modifications, which add additional hardware to an already congested annulus. Laser peeningcanalsobeperformedonCRDstubtubes and many other in-vessel welds.
