About Project
This nuclear station is made up of one Westinghouse’s Pressurized Water Reactor with an electrical output of approximately 1200 Megawatts.
MADERO provided WCNOC Engineering and Management services for the following Projects:
In 2005, a project team consisting of MADERO and KALSI Engineering, Developed and Implemented a World Class Power Operated Valves (POV) Program whose cost was well in excess of $1.5 million dollars. The success of this program was a key contributor for Wolf Creek Station obtaining INPO’s maximum and prestigious plant rating of 1 in the area of Engineering.
MADERO Updated the Class 1E Battery Sizing and the DC Voltage Drop calculations in support of a plant modification that replaced the existing Main Steam Isolation Valves & Main Feedwater Isolation Valves.
MADERO provided technical resolution to NRC CDBI (Configuration Design Basis Inspection) findings regarding the basis of the resistance values listed in the plant Technical Specifications (T.S.) for the Class 1E batteries’ inter-cell connectors.
MADERO performed design and analysis calculations for AC (medium & low voltage) and DC (125Vdc & 250Vdc) distribution systems. MADERO updated existing Class 1E 120Vac MCC Power Distribution System Voltage Drop and Short Circuit Protection calculations.
MADERO performed acceptance review including technical analysis of the ETAP 120Vac electrical distribution model for accuracy and assistance in the resolution emerging technical problems/conflicts and the formulation of proposed design modifications to resolve emergent issues.
Services Provided
MADERO provided Engineering Consulting, Project and Program Management services to WCNOC at Wolf Creek NPP. These services covered various projects that supported the plant’s daily operation and maintenance activities. Specifically,
- Provided Program Management and Engineering Consulting in the successful development and implementation of WCNOC’s POV program. Generation of System Level Design Basis Review Calculations. Reconciliation of emergent Systems and POVs Design and Operational issues.
- Project Management & Electrical Engineering Consulting Services.
