Celeros Flow Technology (Celeros FT) has secured multiple contracts to supply the safety-critical nuclear pump packages for Sizewell C - the UK’s newest nuclear power station.
The pumps will be designed and manufactured by the company’s ClydeUnion Pumps brand at its nuclear-accredited facility in Annecy, France.
Jose Larios, CEO of Celeros FT, said: “We are proud to be contributing to Sizewell C, which is one of the largest net-zero projects in the UK and will play a key role in the energy transition.
“Our in-house nuclear engineering expertise and world-class manufacturing and testing facilities are a winning combination that will add real value to this project. As a long-term partner to EDF, we have supplied safety-critical flow control systems for almost all their nuclear power plants in France and the UK. Our ClydeUnion Pumps team is now working collaboratively with the Sizewell C project team to ensure that the nuclear pump packages meet all regulatory and design criteria for this landmark project.”
Sizewell C is being constructed alongside the existing Sizewell B on the East Suffolk coast. It will be capable of generating 3.2-gigawatts of power, sufficient to supply six million homes with low-carbon electricity for at least 60 years, and will avoid nine million tonnes of CO2 for every year of operation.
As a generator of low-carbon electricity and heat, Sizewell C can also help to kickstart other net zero technologies such as hydrogen production and direct air capture (DAC).
