Atkins Energy Global Solutions, LLC, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, announced 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.
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.
SNC-Lavalin’s advanced liquid waste processing system (ALPS) was transferred under license to Toshiba to deploy for TEPCO at the Fukushima site. In the ALPS treatment process, SNC-Lavalin’s HICs are used to store the radioactive solid waste generated during the liquid effluent decontamination process.
