"Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction said Thursday that it has completed the negotiations to provide nuclear power plant equipment to the largest nuclear energy generating facility in the United States. "We've finalized the process. Doosan hopes for bigger penetration in the highly lucrative nuclear power plants-related sector in the United States," the company said in a press release. Doosan has been shipping control element drive mechanisms, or CEDMs, and replacement reactor vessel heads to the Palo Verde nuclear facility in Tonopah, Arizona, which has a capacity of 1,400 megawatts since May of last year."

A host of international firms are lining up to battle for a package of decommissioning works at Sellafield that could be worth as much as £1.5 billion. Balfour Beatty is understood to be bidding for the three-phase contract in a joint venture with Amec and French nuclear specialist Areva. Meanwhile, Costain is believed to have teamed up with US engineering giant Fluor to bid for the job, which will eventually see the construction of a highly active liquid effluent facility. Laing O'Rourke is also thought to be in a consortium with Jacobs, Nuvia and Doosan Babcock to tender for the work - valued at between £250 million and £1.5bn.
