REACTOR PRESSURE VESSEL INSPECTION SERVICES (BWR)
Do you need to perform with the highest quality the full scope inspection of the reactor pressure vessel (or only a part of it) minimizing Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) occupation time?Tecnatom´s technology, inspection systems and expert teams give you the best solutions to fit your requirements of detecting, sizing and reporting potential flaws in your RPV.
For many years Tecnatom has been rendering top quality services for the inspection of BWR reactor vessels from the outside. These services have evolved alongside the requirements of the industry, the objective being to carry out the inspections that this type of plants is required to perform with the highest levels of quality and reliability and in the shortest possible time. Inspections have successfully been already performed at nuclear power plants throughout Europe, Asia and USA.
We have available different inspection systems working under an integrated user frame (HW &SW) able to be adapted to different RPV inspection needs.
We offer you the best cost effective solution with a highly improved qualified systems, and an experienced and qualified inspection team providing a compact inspection service and recommendations to your plant.
REACTOR PRESSURE VESSELINSPECTION SERVICES (BWR)
The main components of the inspection system are:
Ultrasonic (SONIA) and Eddy Current instruments (ETBox).
Mechanical equipment for positioning the inspection modules.
Audio and video Systems.
Integrated software environment for acquisition and data analysis.
The main reactor pressure vessel services we can offer you are:
Vessel (Welds, Internal, Shroud, Nozzles).
Closure head.
Penetrations (CRDH, ICMH).
Threaded Zones.
Tecnatom has a set of products perfectly integrated to ensure effective, safe and quick reactor pressure vessel inspections. Our inspection system is a technologically advanced solution that allows to inspect large quantities of surfaces and precise analysis detecting a wide range of defectology, in order to detect and characterize all flaws with regard the integrity of the component.
Tecnatom has developed dedicated systems to cover different necessities of the nuclear power plants, and providing high quality services. These systems are fully designed and manufactured by our selves and then validated by the customers under strict specifications in order to reduce the vessel occupation time and increase the reliability and accuracy of the system.

VESSEL SHELL AND WELDS
Do you need to perform inspection of the RPV shell and welds?Tecnatom has TRACK WALL system for BWR RPV which is capable to perform in a fast manner the 10 years full scope inspection.
REACTOR PRESSURE VESSELINSPECTION SERVICES (BWR)
Technical characteristics:
The system uses rails mounted on the sacrificial wall. The wall equipment is mounted in low radiation level areas for performance of the
inspection of welds located in high radiation level zones (core zone). Modular design allowing for very quick assembly without the need for tools in the work area. The equipment and rails pass through the penetrations in the missile shield. The equipment is small and light in weight.
