We have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Westinghouse Electric Company to support nuclear new-build projects in Canada and globally. The agreement offers us the potential to design and fabricate valves and pumps for key Westinghouse AP1000® and AP300™ projects.
Dan Lipman, President of Westinghouse Energy Systems, said: “Celeros FT’s engineered-to-order products and solutions will help us expand our AP1000® technology and introduce new AP300™ projects in Canada and around the world, enhancing Canada’s global reputation as a leader in clean energy innovation.”
John Gorman, President of Westinghouse Canada, added: “By expanding our Canadian nuclear supply chain with experienced partners like Celeros FT, we are positioning Westinghouse to deliver North America’s next AP1000 plant quickly while bringing real economic benefits and high-quality jobs to Canada.”
The new agreement further secures our market-leading position in nuclear flow control and follows recent recognition by the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) and Ontario’s Nuclear Advantage (ONA) of our significant contributions and commitment to the nuclear sector.
“We are delighted to be a partner of choice for Westinghouse on their nuclear new-build program. Celeros FT is committed to developing flow control solutions that help to deliver clean energy to the world and nuclear is one of our focus industries.” our CEO & President, Jose Larios commented. “Our winning combination of engineering expertise and fully accredited global facilities offer full lifecycle support to customers of our nuclear pumps and valves, ensuring that nuclear power plants operate safely and efficiently.”
Our Canadian nuclear-accredited facility in Burlington, Ontario, is ready to support the next Westinghouse AP1000 project by providing a dedicated workspace for the manufacture and maintenance of nuclear pumps and valves from our renowned brands, including ClydeUnion Pumps and Copes-Vulcan. The agreement also gives Westinghouse full access to our specialist engineering expertise, which can be traced back to the first-ever industrial-scale nuclear power plant and continues with nuclear class 1, 2, and 3 pump and valve installations in more than 65% of operational nuclear power plants worldwide.
