Shaw is the largest provider of commercial nuclear power plant maintenance and modification services in the United States with active contracts covering 40 operating units. Having accomplished more sub-20-day refueling outages than all other modification and maintenance providers combined, Shaw is a significant contributor to the nuclear industry's success of reducing outage durations and costs.
The modification and/or analysis of nuclear power plant components requires a strong understanding of current equipment and system design, configuration, and operation, as well as familiarity with applicable codes, standards, and regulatory requirements. With more than 50 years of experience in the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of nuclear power plants around the world, Shaw is well-equipped to provide all manner of plant services.
