CSC currently provides Urenco with a full range of IT services, including desktop support, help desk services, applications development and network support, in support of its global transformation programme to align processes across all of its plants. With the new agreement, CSC will expand coverage to include Urenco's wholly owned subsidiary LES, which is responsible for the building and operation of Urenco's new National Enrichment Facility in New Mexico, US.
The new facility, which is Urenco's first US-based plant, is claimed to be the first major commercial nuclear facility to be licenced in the US in 30 years and is scheduled to open in 2009. CSC also supports the company's operations in Washington, D.C., and in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany.
"We are pleased to broaden our relationship with Urenco," said Guy Hains, president, European Group, CSC. "CSC's significant expertise in the nuclear industry and track record in modernising and integrating applications to drive innovation will help Urenco achieve its critical transformation program goals." |
