The pumps will be designed and manufactured by the company’s ClydeUnion Pumps brand at its nuclear-accredited facility in Annecy, France.
Sizewell C is being constructed alongside the existing Sizewell B on the East Suffolk coast. It will be capable of generating 3.2 GW of power, enough 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.
ClydeUnion Pumps will manufacture numerous safety-critical pump packages for the Sizewell C nuclear power station. These include the pumps for the emergency feedwater, component cooling water, safety injection, nuclear island vent/drain, and safety chilled water systems.
“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,” said Jose Larios, CEO of Celeros FT. “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.”
