The cooperation will be marketed under the separate brand name of ndcon, Nuclear Decommissioning Consortium by Studsvik and Westinghouse.
"By establishing this close cooperation with world leading Westinghouse we complement Studsvik's areas of competence with all services that are necessary to be able to offer turnkey contracts in connection with decommissioning of nuclear power plants", comments Anders Jackson, president and chief executive officer, Studsvik.
"Westinghouse has planned and executed D&D services in Spain, Sweden, Germany and other countries, each having different regulatory regulations and reactor designs," said Yves Brachet, president, Westinghouse Europe, Middle East & Africa.
