Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant Project

Black & Veatch is part of the GE Nuclear Energy (GENE) team providing the nuclear island design, equipment, supplying and managing the Information Management System, and nuclear fuel for Lungmen, Taiwan's fourth nuclear power plant. The 2,700 MW, two-unit advanced nuclear plant was built at the Yenliao site in northeastern Taiwan.

Black & Veatch was selected by GENE as the preferred provider due to previous work performed with ABWR (Advanced Boiling Water Reactor) FOAKE (First-of-a-Kind-Engineering). The Lungmen project is the first power plant opportunity for Black & Veatch to employ substantial portions of the design work produced in the ABWR FOAKE project.

The project reactors will not be licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRC); however, contract provisions imposed by the client (and the regulatory body in Taiwan - ROC-AEC) require the plant to be designed in accordance with all applicable NRC regulations. Black & Veatch therefore produced all appropriate Safety Analysis Reports and other licensing support documentation to U.S. NRC regulations and U.S.code and standard requirements.
