Doosan Babcock, a British subsidiary of South Korea’s Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, has won a 200 billion won ($167 million) joint order with local partners to back a nuclear power project in South West England.
Doosan Heavy said on Thursday that the order was placed by Nuclear New Build Generation Company (NNB GenCo), a subsidiary created by EDF (Electricité de France) Energy responsible for building and operating new nuclear power stations in the UK.
Doosan Babcock won the deal with Altrad and three other local companies for machinery, electrical instrumentation and air-conditioning facilities in the Hinkley Point C project to build a 3,200MW nuclear power station in Somerset by 2025.
Doosan Babcock has played an important role as a key facility manufacturer in the British nuclear power industry since 1956. One noticeable deal in the past was its supply of steam generators for the British Sizewell B nuclear power station built in 1995. More recently, it signed a contract with Sellafield Ltd. to provide facilities to treat radioactive waste.
Doosan Heavy said the latest deal in the UK after a long time interval means a bridgehead for its business toward the global new nuclear power plant market. The company plans to expand business activities to win additional orders for facilities needed to maintain 15 nuclear reactors with about 8.9GW output in the UK.
Meanwhile, Doosan Heavy will manufacture and provide its nuclear steam supply systems for a small modular reactor (SMR) project which is being built for the first time in the U.S. under a contract with NuScale Power signed in July.
