WILMINGTON, NC-July 28, 2021-The Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant (KKL) has awarded a long-term contract extension to GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) to provide outage services for the plant in Leibstadt, Switzerland.

“We have supported KKL with outage and inspection services since it went into operation in 1984 and we are proud to continue this strong working relationship,” said John Mackleer, Senior Vice President, Field Services for GEH.
