Westinghouse Electric signed a contract with Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB), the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company to increase the capacity of the cooling system, also known as the cooling chain, at the Central Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear Fuel (Clab) located outside Oskarshamn, on Sweden's east coast. The extension of the Clab's cooling chain will increase the capacity of the Clab from 8,000 to 11,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel. Under the terms of the contract, executed between SKB and Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB, Westinghouse will design, procure, deliver and install the new cooling system, as well as decommission the existing system. Westinghouse partner Elajo AB, will manage the installation work. The project will take approximately three years to complete.
