Back in December of 2015, the Nuclear Industry kicked off an initiative called Delivering the Nuclear Promise. Headed by NEI and industry leaders, the goal is to help reduce operating costs. Nuclear plants have felt the pinch from low electricity prices due to the natural gas glut, and this spending cut isn't a second too late.
Sometimes the hardest part of a project is answering the question “What is it?” and the immediate follow-up “What is the governing code?” The governing code and its requirements can have a big impact on project cost and project success.
Spare parts management is a complicated, laborious - but critically important - aspect of nuclear plant operation. Ensuring that the right part is available at the right time and the right place requires detailed inventory management, diligent quality control, exacting acceptance testing, etc. 3D Printing to the Rescue!
Pressure testing ensures that tanks, vessels and piping systems, are correctly constructed. Testing ensures the integrity of flanged joints and threaded connections. In this week's blog we'll provide an overview of: objectives of pressure testing, code requirements, types of tests and hazards.
We often get asked, "How do you refuel a Nuclear Reactor?". It seems daunting, considering that the fuel is radioactive, and you certainly can't touch it!
RG&E's Station 5 will have generated green, emission free energy for 100 years this year. That's quite an accomplishment.
We were able to help our client save over $40,000 on the design and construction of an articulating solar array.
Using FEA and hand calculations, we were able to help a nuclear utility evaluate RCP Seal Leakoff pipes and components for high temperature and pressure.
We developed a testing plan to test seals and determine their water resistance. A test rig was designed which put a static head on the sample flood seals.
