OTI welcomes the Dresden and Quad Cities nuclear plants as they have recently standardized on ETAP. The total nuclear facilities using ETAP has increased to 65% of all U.S. operational nuclear plants. In addition to the nuclear utilities in the U.S., ETAP is used on a nuclear level by numerous consulting firms including Bechtel, Black & Veatch, Framatome, Sargent and Lundy, and Washington Group. In fact, Framatome ANP GmbH in Germany is currently using ETAP to design the largest grass roots nuclear generation plant in Europe.

ETAP 5.0 has been shipped to customers with a valid ETAP Upgrade and User-Support Contract. ETAP 5.0 includes seven new modules, greatly expanded libraries, updated real-time functionality, and major enhancements to most existing modules.
