ValvTechnologies is playing a major role in the implementation of TVA’s Watts Bar 1&2, FLEX initiatives. WB1 has been in operation since 1996 and is the latest domestic commercial plant to come on line. WB2 will be the first nuclear reactor to come online in the United States in nearly two decades with its scheduled completion in late 2015. It is located on a 1,770-acre (7.2 km²) site in Rhea County, Tennessee, near Spring City, between the cities of Chattanooga and Knoxville.
This is the company’s second assignment relative to the post Fukushima Daiichi response. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) call for diverse and flexible coping capabilities, or FLEX strategy was developed to address the loss of cooling capability and electrical power resulting from a severe natural event – making U.S. nuclear facilities even safer.
Once finished, Watts Bar 2 is projected to produce 1,180 megawatts and create around 250 permanent jobs. The reactor is expected to begin operation in December 2015.
