Shaw to provide maintenance services to Callaway nuclear power plant

The Shaw Group has secured a new six-year contract from AmerenUE, a subsidiary of Ameren, to provide nuclear maintenance services to the Callaway nuclear power plant, located near Fulton, Missouri.

With the addition of AmerenUE's Callaway plant, Shaw provides nuclear maintenance services to seven nuclear units within the alliance, including two units operated by Southern California Edison, two units operated by South Texas Project and two units operated by Luminant.

Under the new contract, Shaw will provide routine maintenance/modifications, refueling maintenance/modifications and capital construction services. The undisclosed value of the contract will be included in the maintenance segment's backlog of unfilled orders in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Fred Buckman, president of Shaw's power group, said: "We have established a solid foundation of nuclear maintenance with other members of the Utilities Service Alliance. We are committed to working hand-in-hand with AmerenUE to build upon the Callaway nuclear plant's refueling outages success while upholding Shaw's core values of safety and superior operational performance."
