Scientech Completes Plant Computer Replacement at Nuclear Power Plant in Japan
Tokyo's Electric Power Company's new PPC
IDAHO FALLS, ID - June 11, 2008

Scientech, a Curtiss-Wright Flow Control company, announces the successful completion and acceptance of the replacement plant process computer (PPC) at Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO's) Fukushima Daiichi Unit 2 (1F-2) nuclear power plant in Japan. The PPC was officially turned over to 1F-2 plant operations on June 3, 2008 and is being fully utilized in the ongoing operation of the plant. This is the very first step for Scientech to expand its PPC replacement business in the Asian region.

This announcement culminates nearly two years of effort since Tokyo Electric Power Service Company (TEPSCO) awarded the contract to Scientech in June 2006 for replacing the existing PPC that was provided by a Japanese plant vendor. System design, development, and integration were accomplished at Scientech's Idaho Falls, Idaho factory staging facility. The software was converted to accept multi-byte character sets so that all of the PPC screens can be displayed in any local language (Japanese in this case).

TEPCO's 1F nuclear power facility is the site of six commercial power reactors that produce a total of 4,600 MWe located approximately three hours north of Tokyo.

Scientech is a global provider of commercial nuclear power instrumentation, safety-related electrical components, specialty hardware, process control systems, reactor and steam generator equipment and services, commercial grade dedication and testing services, expert technical consulting and proprietary database solutions aimed at improving safety, plant performance and reliability as well as reducing costs. In 2007, Scientech became part of the Nuclear Group within Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Flow (CWFC) Corporation.

Scientech Completes Procedure Upgrade Project at Callaway
30,000 man-hours complete 728 Operations Department Procedures
IDAHO FALLS, ID - April 12, 2006

In late 2004, Scientech submitted the successful bid to upgrade 728 Operations Department Procedures and incorporate all outstanding procedure action requests. The work commenced on January 3, 2005 and was scheduled to be completed on March 31, 2006. The project consisted of five major milestone dates:

• April 1, 2005 for procedures required for training support
• July 1, 2005 for procedures necessary to support Refueling Outage 13
• November 1, 2005 for procedures required to support modifications installed during RF-13
• December 1, 2005 for procedures required to support Callaway’s revised IST program
• March 31 for the overall completion of the project.
  
  

After 15 months of intensive efforts, at 2:50 p.m. on March 30, 2006 the Scientech-Callaway procedure upgrade team approved the last procedure...over a day ahead of schedule. During this period the team worked over 30,000 man-hours and accomplished the following major project tasks:

• Performed 1,094 procedure actions
• Issued 1,028 procedures, appendices, and attachments
• Upgraded 19,360 pages of procedures
• Closed over 2,600 CARS (Callaway Action Request System)
• Created over 1,200 checklists to support the upgraded procedures
  
  

AmerenUE CNO, Chuck Naslund is very pleased with the results of the Scientech led effort as were Pat McKenna (Callaway Superintendent Shift Support) and Bruce Brederman (Callaway Procedures Superintendent). INPO has started referring other sites to Callaway as a site with a good procedure program and good procedures. This is due in large part to the efforts of the Scientech upgrade team and Callaway support staff.

This momentous accomplishment demonstrates the power of successful “win-win” strategies where the vendor and client foster a team environment. A real team effort was required throughout the project to meet the milestones and especially during the last weeks as both Scientech and Callaway worked together and did whatever was required to finish “On schedule.”

Clarification Regarding Sale of Decommissioning and Environmental Division
Statement of clarification
IDAHO FALLS, ID - February 8, 2006

This announcement is being issued to clarify recent statements issued by EnergySolutions regarding the prior Scientech Decommissioning and Environmental Services business segment which was sold in October, 2005 to Envirocare of Utah, LLC.

Last week, EnergySolutions, a newly formed company combining BNG America, Envirocare of Utah, LLC and Scientech's former Decommissioning and Environmental Services Division, issued a press release referencing this business segment as Scientech D&D, LLC (formerly NES). This has led some of our customers to become concerned over existing contracts that are either in place with Scientech, LLC or with Scientech, LLC's Engineered Products Division, which comprises the majority of the business that was previously operated as NES.

We would like to clarify that the announcement made by EnergySolutions only applies to the Decommissioning and Environmental Services Division formerly owned by Scientech, and does not apply to the rest of Scientech, LLC, including the former NES Engineered Products business located in New Milford, CT.

We have and will continue to provide reactor and steam generator services and engineered products from our existing facility in New Milford, CT and all existing contracts with Scientech, LLC will not be affected. The D&D group represented only a small part of Scientech's total products and services and all other Scientech segments (including the former NES Engineered Products group) were unaffected by this sale and have no relationship to the formation of EnergySolutions.

New Long Term Contract with PPL
Providing software maintenance to the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station
IDAHO FALLS, ID - March 14, 2005

PPL awards Scientech a $6.4 Million dollar contract to provide software maintenance for the Nuclear Information Management System (NIMS) at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. The term of this new agreement is five years, during which, Scientech will provide PPL with the technical support, bug fixes and enhancements needed to keep NIMS aligned with the business needs of Susquehanna.

Contract negotiations between PPL and Scientech began in the fall of 2004. PPL desired to replace the then existing staff augmentation contract with a long-term, strategic relationship that would improve quality, reduce costs, and foster a stable workforce. A team of negotiators representing Nuclear, Contracts, Procurements and IT worked with Scientech for five months to produce this 'win-win' contract.

Under the terms of the agreement, Scientech will open its own office in the immediate proximity of Susquehanna, provide the required IT infrastructure, and manage its own workforce. In addition, PPL has transferred ownership of InfoWorks to Scientech, allowing Scientech to invest in the improvements needed to achieve commercial acceptance of InfoWorks modules like the Security Screening Information System.
