Bruce A and B General Fire Protection Design and Support Services
WEC provides fire protection consulting and technical support services to work groups across the Bruce Power site. This work involves the design of fire detection and fire suppression systems across a wide variety of installations.
Video Imaging Detection
Darlington Nuclear Generation Station
New construction at Darlington NPP required a fire detection system to cover large open space areas. Westinghouse proposed the design and installation of Video Imaging Detection System (VIDS), a single, “all-in-one” detector solution that combines live video feed of a standard network camera with built-in flame, smoke, and motion detection capabilities.
Advantages of VIDS includes:
Fewer field devices reducing annual operational costs
Immediate decision making without field verification
Improved safety for responders and field staff
Post-event analysis to assess cause of event

Bruce A and B Cable Wraps
The protection of cables vulnerable to potential fire hazards was identified during a Fire Safety Assessment. WEC designed and provided installation support for fire barriers, and applicable conduits / cable trays.
Chalk River Laboratories Fire Risk Tool
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL)
CNL is planning to redevelop their CRL campus which will change the fire risk profile of the site. Westinghouse developed a risk-based fire protection model to display the current fire risk profile of the CRL campus while also addressing the change in risk. The model allows CNL staff to assess the degree to which the site meets the fire protection goals & objectives.
The risk-based model:
Allows analysis of inspection, testing and maintenance intervals
Addresses the need of fire brigade personnel as the site develops
Allows cost savings while maintaining regulatory requirements

Bruce B Fireworks Terminal Replacement
WEC provided design engineering and installation support for the replacement of the Bruce B Firework Terminal. Our services included the programming and installation of the software associated with the two terminals installed at the Station.
Code Compliance & Fire Hazard Assessment
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL)
Westinghouse performed a CCR for the Solidification Process Facility, at CNL’s Whiteshell Laboratories site. Westinghouse reviewed designs to ensure that the facility aligned with construction and operational codes and standards, as well as completed a Fire Hazard Assessment. Scope included determining the adequacy of the fire protection measures, identifying plausible fire scenarios, verifying that loss limiting criteria were not exceeded, identifying where fire hazards exist, and providing cost effective recommendations to mitigate the identified hazards.

Bruce A and B Fire Detection Upgrades
WEC provided design engineering and installation support for the replacement of the Fire Detection System. The proposed system has thermal imaging detectors and uses a visual IP based CCTV detectors to analyze live video feeds in real-time to identify flame, smoke, oil-mist, or intrusion.
