Looking to expand into Australia's new nuclear market, Westinghouse Electric Company signed memorandums of understanding with local suppliers UGL Limited, Saab Australia, and Teralba Industries, the company announced on October 7. According to Westinghouse, the agreements are a first step in welcoming the Australian suppliers to become part of the Westinghouse global supply chain, and sets the stage for the companies to gain the experience and skills necessary for nuclear power to be developed as a source of electricity production for Australia, should the country decide on this path in light of carbon-reduction goals. All of the companies have prior experience in the broader nuclear industry, Westinghouse said. Saab Australia has been delivering integrated communications, security, and incident management systems for critical infrastructure around the world, as well as advanced training systems and processes to security and emergency response personnel for nuclear facilities in the United States. Teralba has done nuclear industry work for the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization. UGL has been performing maintenance and minor capital work in relation to the mining of uranium in South Australia.
