Combustion Engineering (C-E) designed and built Boiler s for conventional Power Plants - those powered by Coal and Oil . In the 1970's, C-E began selling Nuclear Power steam supply systems. C-E competed aggressively with General Electric and Westinghouse in this domain. C-E was generally credited with a superior design, evidenced by the fact that the Megawatt yield of its Reactor s was typically about 10% higher than that of comparable Westinghouse plants. The basis for this increase in efficiency was a computer-based system called the Core Operating Limit Supervisory System (COLSS), which leveraged almost 300 in-core Neutron detectors and a patented Algorithm to allow higher power densities. C-E was an innovative American engineering firm with approximately 10,000 employees in about a dozen states. Headquartered in Windsor Locks , Connecticut , it had a major boiler manufacturing facility in Chattanooga , Tennessee . Alumni from C-E have gone on to hold leadership positions in major engineering firms and governments around the world. |
