GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) reports its intent to acquire the business and certain assets of REI Nuclear, LLC (REI Nuclear), a Columbia, South Carolina-based decommissioning technology and tooling design company. Subject to ongoing discussions, the acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2018. REI Nuclear specializes in performing preliminary design, testing, tooling, project management, technical support, segmentation planning and waste management for nuclear facility decommissioning and dismantlement (D and D) projects. "With REI Nuclear's technical and project planning expertise, we will be able to increase value for our customers by further strengthening the planning and field execution of decommissioning projects," said Lance Hall, Executive Vice President of GEH.

This work includes cutting and packing reactor internals for final disposal and will continue through 2019. GEH offers comprehensive D and D project expertise, including experience gained from reactor internals replacement projects in Japan and segmentation scope for extended power uprate projects in the U.S.
