Électricité de France (EDF) has awarded a project management resources (PMR) framework contract to Jacobs for the company's nuclear power plants in the UK.
According to the contract, whose value is estimated at over US$53m, Jacobs will support eight nuclear stations. The combined output of these facilities represent almost 16% of the UK's total output.
Jacobs will be involved in operations at four advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR) stations and oversee the shift from generation to defuelling at three other AGR stations.
The company will also work on the life extension project of Sizewell B's pressurised water reactor.
