General Engineered products is a division (EPO) of Borg Warner, Incorporated, employing 809 hourly and 475 administrative personnel.
The facility covers acproxi-mately 365,000 square of manufacturing and 80,000 square feet for office space which is selfcontained in that most all ASME required services, i.e.,
design, welding, machining, NDE and hycrostatic/ performance testing are provided.
Any required heat treat / stress relieve projects are contracted locally to approved contractors.
-EPO holds ASME certifications for both the "N" and "NPT" stamps tnat expire in 1981.
l EPO manufactures such pumps and components as:
1.
Pr'.. nary circularing 2.
Resicual heat removal 3.
Low pressure core' spray 4
3 5.
Low head safety injection 6.
Decay heat removal The above types of components comprise approximately TE of EPO current capacity and have been supolied to as many as fifty (50) nuclear facili-ties.
The Authorized Inspection Agency is he Fictory Mutual Insurance Comcany.
Due to a reduction of nuclear reist.ed comoonents, the status of tne Autnorized Nuclear Inspector has been.ecuced from full time, to an as needed basis.
