About this award
This is a $646,220.00 firm fixed price commercial contract awarded by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to Kema Powertest LLC for high energy arcing fault (HEAF) testing. The contract supports a broader NRC program to develop an enhanced HEAF model for use in fire probabilistic risk assessments (PRAs). The testing will be conducted at Kema's facility in Chalfont, PA and involves electrical and mechanical measurements on low and medium voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, and distribution buses. This contract is not associated with a set-aside program. The testing builds upon prior HEAF testing conducted in 2013-2014 as part of an international project through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency.
Description
A commercial contract on high energy arcing faults testing facility. Previously, a test program was conducted in 2013 and 2014 to obtain data to support model advancements and in cooperation with international partners. These test programs support the organization for economic cooperation and development oecd nuclear energy agencys (NEA) a project to characterize high energy arcing fault events. As part of the international agreement, each participating country donated equipment to the NRC for testing. Subsequent to the testing performed in 2013 and 2014, additional equipment and needs for testing was identified. The goal of this program is to perform high power electrical testing on low and medium voltage switchgear, circuit breakers and distribution buses. The electrical measurements made during the testing, along with the mechanical measurements, will allow for development of an enhanced heaf model for use in fire pras. Preliminary flame spread assessment to target samples is also required. Provided any facility/personnel safety requirements are not exceeded.
