Notice No:	Poland AP1000 SC40 – Shield Building Steel and Concrete Composite (SC) Wall Panels
Description:	Project Description: Nuclear Power Plant, utilizing AP1000® reactor technology, composed of three (3) specified reactor units and all other nuclear and non-nuclear facilities, with installed total capacity up to 3,750 MW. Project Location: Municipality of Choczewo (Lubiatowo-Kopalino), in the Republic of Poland. Description: The Shield Building is the structure and annulus area that surrounds the containment building and is located in the Nuclear Island (NI). The shield building uses concrete-filled steel plate construction (SC) as well as reinforced concrete sections. The SC40 Shield Building SC Wall Panels scope reflects the cylindrical portion of the concrete-filled steel plate construction for the Shield Building. The Shield Building cylindrical wall has an outside radius of 22.1m and a thickness of 0.91m. For each one (1) unit, there are 167 individually fabricated/shipped SC40 panels. There are four main types of panels, which are further arranged into 56 unique panel ‘groups’ that each represent a unique panel configuration. The panels are steel composite construction with 19.1mm to 25.4mm thick rolled carbon steel plates, welded tie bars, welded tie plates, and welded shear studs. Each SC panel weighs between 12 and 23 metric tonnes. The SC40 scope of supply also includes misc. structural components such as embedment plates, gusset plates, attachment plates, and nuts/washers. The SC40 Shield Building SC Wall Panels scope is classified as Safety Related, Seismic Category I, and Westinghouse Safety Class C. The governing codes and standards include ANSI/AISC N690-1994 and ACI 349-01. 1. Experienced manufacturers / Fabricators capable of fabricating and furnishing AP1000® structural modules and / or shield building (described below), must (i) contact (email and/or phone call) the Westinghouse Contact Person identified in section 1 to express interest and request an AP1000 supplier qualification questionnaire, and (ii) upon receipt, complete the AP1000 supplier qualification questionnaire with sufficient detail for Westinghouse evaluation and return it via email to the Westinghouse contact person. If there are any questions or clarifications needed, please reach out to the contact person listed above. 2. The qualification criteria shall be included in the AP1000 supplier qualification questionnaire, examples thereof include demonstration of: (i) demonstrated experience in furnishing similar scopes in large carbon steel fabrication such as sub-modules that are approximately 11.8m L x 3.1m W x 1m T, workshops having >25 tonne crane capacity), stud shooting, welding of ASTM A706 reinforcing steel, welding of high strength carbon steel, and equipment capabilities to roll and handle plate 25.4mm T x 3.1m W x 11.8m L ; (ii) meeting the quality requirements for such equipment in a nuclear power plant, including having a Westinghouse or NIAC audited nuclear quality program complying with NQA-1 and 10CFR50 Appendix B; (iii) certification of compliance with all applicable governmental policies, requirements, laws and regulations, applicable international treaties or agreements, and other regulatory requirements; (iv) financial standing (solvency) and (v) verification of capabilities. 3.
