US-based engineering and technology company Amentum has won a suite of new contracts from EDF worth up to $730m (€614m), expanding the critical solutions it provides for the UK’s existing nuclear reactors as well as the construction of the new Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.

The newly awarded contracts include 10-year professional services agreement frameworks with Hinkley Point C and a five-year project management resources framework to support existing station operations, life extensions and preparation for decommissioning.

Loren Jones, Amentum senior vice-president, said: “Amentum’s expertise in gigawatt reactor operational support and life extension makes it the ideal partner for EDF, one of the world’s largest nuclear utilities.
