Spescom Software, Inc, a provider of enterprise content and configuration management solutions, announced that NuStart Energy Development, LLC, in a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has selected Spescom eB to support its efforts in licensing the next generation of nuclear power plants.
The initial contract, valued at approximately $500,000, will provide a system to support NuStart in preparing its license application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The application is for a combined construction and operating license for new plants.
"The selection of eB Nuclear by NuStart Energy affirms that Spescom will play a significant role in the revival of nuclear energy in the U.S.," said Spescom Software CEO, Keith Stentiford. "Working closely with our nuclear customers has allowed us to deliver best-of-class solutions for the nuclear industry. We are looking forward to participating in this important initiative to make the U.S. more energy independent."
