Holtec International: a global leader in power generation technologies and nuclear waste management.
Holtec International provides
engineered equipment and services
under 10CFR50, 10CFR71, and
10CFR72 regulations and IAEA
standards (where applicable) to nuclear
plants around the world. Holtec prides
itself on the substantial number of
turnkey contracts wherein Holtec
engineers, manufactures, and installs
the equipment and associated systems
with an undivided responsibility for
completion.
Holtec is a proven innovator that
continually discovers how to stay a
generation ahead. Holtec essentially
invented the ultra-high-density wet
storage technology during the ‘80s and
is credited with pioneering Multi-
Purpose-Canister (MPC) technology in
the ‘90s (Holtec was the first in the
U.S. to license and manufacture
systems that employ the MPC technology).
The technical staff employed by
Holtec formulates innovative solutions
to operational and technological
problems. The company secures, on
average, five patents each year. Our
most recent innovation is the
HI-STORM FW, which is uniquely
designed to maximize storage capacity
and heat load, minimize occupational
dose, permit storage of severely
deformed or canisterized fuel, and to
be extremely resistant to deleterious
flood and wind. The HI-STORM FW
basket is manufactured entirely from
METAMIC ® -HT. This advanced material
provides structural support,
neutron absorption, enhanced heat
transport, and is low weight. The
basket is configured to hold either 37
PWR assemblies (MPC-37) or 89
BWR assemblies (MPC-89), in
addition to VVER 440, VVER 1000, or
RBMK fuel types. Holtec is also
proudly licensing the first underground
storage system, HI-STORM 100U,
which is essentially impregnable to the
post-9/11 terrorist threats. In addition
to wet and dry systems for managing
spent nuclear fuel, Holtec also provides
custom engineered steam surface
condensers, feedwater heaters, and
safety related heat exchangers
designed by Holtec’s Power Plant
Component Division (PPCD).
Holtec’s vertical integration allows
control over quality, schedule, and cost
and provides customers fully
integrated solutions. Holtec Manufacturing
Division is wholly-owned plant
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with over
450,000 sq.ft. of manufacturing space,
400 tons of lift capacity, state-of-theart
machinery and all needed ASME
nuclear and non-nuclear stamps (N1,
N2,N3,NDT, etc.). At the end of 2008,
Holtec expanded its manufacturing
capabilities with the purchase of two
aluminum manufacturing plants in
Ohio and the purchase of METMIC ®
LLC (now Nanotec Metals Division or
NMD). With these acquisitions, Holtec
expects to synergize the ongoing R&D
work in powder metallurgy at NMD
and the manufacturing savvy of the
Ohio plants to develop and offer a new
generation of supermetals to users in
need of advanced materials.
Holtec International is headquartered
in Marlton, New Jersey,
which is located in the Philadelphia
metropolitan area, and has operational
centers around the globe. To learn more
