Amentum (NYSE: AMTM) and Multiconsult Norge AS were selected by
Halden Kjernekraft AS to evaluate the potential for building a
small modular reactor (SMR) in Norway, helping Halden municipality
to decide whether nuclear power can meet advanced energy needs.
The two companies will carry out an assessment of potential
suppliers of equipment and services within Norway and from abroad,
as well as reporting on technical standards, environmental impact
and other key aspects of any construction program.
Halden Kjernekraft was set up by Norsk Kjernekraft, Østfold
Energi and the municipality of Halden, a town in southeast Norway
close to the Swedish border, to investigate the construction of a
nuclear power plant using SMR technology.
“Working with Multiconsult, we will draw on our extensive
knowledge of SMR technology and nuclear supply chains to provide an
objective, factual review and assist the municipality of Halden in
making a well-informed decision as to whether nuclear power can
contribute to solving its future energy needs," said Andy White,
Amentum Senior Vice President, Energy & Environment
International.
Amentum and Multiconsult are currently carrying out engineering
concept design and planning work for the decommissioning of a
nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor in Halden, which was
operated by Norway’s Institute for Energy Technology.
“We are very pleased to have chosen Amentum and Multiconsult for
this task,” said Halden Kjernekraft, Chief Executive Officer Håvard
Kristiansen. “Multiconsult has extensive knowledge of the Norwegian
supplier industry and the energy sector, while Amentum has rich
experience from the establishment of both small modular reactors
and larger nuclear power plants in Europe and the UK.”
