Nuclear Maintenance Pact Given Fluor Group

Fluor Constructors Inc., a subsidiary of the Fluor Corp., will receive $10 million over a two-year period from the Florida Power Corp., a subsidiary of the Florida Progress Corp., to provide what a Fluor spokesman described as “standard maintenance and improvements to the performance and efficiency” at Florida Power’s nuclear power plant in Crystal River. The contract is a renewal of a completed $25-million contract from 1984 and involves about 700 Fluor personnel working at the site when maintenance is being performed. The number of on-site Fluor employees drops to 100 during normal operation of the plant.

A second Fluor subsidiary, Fluor Technology Inc., has been awarded a one-year contract by the state of Arizona to design a phone system linking about 200 government agencies, departments and commissions. A spokesman for the Arizona Department of Administration said that Fluor, based in Irvine, would receive about $800,000 under terms of the contract.
