PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, U.S.A., 1990 JAN 10 (NB) -- Westinghouse Electric Corporation announced that a Swiss nuclear company, Nordostschweizerische Kraftwerk AG (NOK), supplier of electricity to northern Switzerland, has awarded Westinghouse a $30 million contract to modernize Units 1 and 2 at NOK's Beznau site on the Aare River. The contract calls for Westinghouse's state-of-the-art ANlage Information System (ANIS) to be installed, thereby upgrading Beznau's ability to reach maximum long-range operation of its nuclear plants. Michael P. Comisky, Westinghouse Process Control Division general manager, stated that several Westinghouse divisions will be implementing ANIS, to "provide NOK the world's most advanced nuclear plant computer system." ANIS, simple to run, maintain, and upgrade by NOK personnel, has vast plant analysis, analog/digital signal data collection and processing, and monitoring proficiency, boosting the staff's ability to operate Beznau at top efficiency.
