According to a press release from the company, NRC approval is expected in mid-2016 for the system, which is scheduled for delivery to FirstEnergy Corporation’s Davis Besse nuclear power plant in 2018 in anticipation of a 2019 loading. AREVA TN is currently manufacturing a “mock-up” basket system in Canonsburg, Pa., and expects completion of the project in March.
The company boasts that the NUHOMS EOS features a non-welded design that utilizes high strength, low alloy material, while also claiming the industry’s highest 50-kilowatt heat rejection capability. Additional features listed in the press release include: an inspection port built into the EOS horizontal storage module, which makes for “an efficient long-term aging management program,” as well as the option for a duplex stainless steel shell, “providing a superior corrosion-proof solution.”
