The creation of Comprehensive Decommissioning International (CDI), a new joint venture between Holtec and Canada’s SNC-Lavalin, has heightened competition in the decommissioning sector.
CDI aims to become the “leading decommissioning contractor” in the U.S. nuclear industry, Pierre Oneid, Holtec’s Senior Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer, said in July.
By early August, Holtec had signed agreements to purchase upon closure Entergy’s 688 MW Pilgrim plant in Massachusetts, its 811 MW Palisades plant in Michigan, and Exelon’s 636 MW Oyster Creek plant in New Jersey. In addition, Holtec would take control of Entergy’s decommissioned Big Rock Point Nuclear Power Plant site which still hosts an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).
