Looking for a quick way to find if something will survive a tornado missile strike? Try these calculators for either concrete or steel.
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.
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.
FLEX compliance can be a challenging inspection for your site. The NRC will typically send a few inspectors, and the inspection will last the better part of a week. During that time, the NRC is going to inspect by asking questions about your FLEX strategy
The amount of time and effort that goes into making sure that nuclear plants safe is incredible. In the early 80s, Sandia National Labs (SNL) and Argonne National Labs (ANL) started a testing program for testing Reactor Containments. The pinnacle of the series of tests was the 1/4 scale model of a typical PWR Containment
The User Group What’s the best way to get the nuclear industry’s best minds together to discuss trends and solutions? Form a User’s Group! The Nuclear Industry has formed a number of user groups because they recognize that collaboration is key.
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!
FLEX is incredibly powerful because the equipment can be used for any disaster that might face a nuclear plant. Even the disasters that we can't think of right now.
