About Nuclear Services
Nuclear services provide tools, engineering and logistics for the proper monitoring, leak testing, handling and disposal of nuclear materials, instruments and equipment. There are four basic types of nuclear services. Nuclear field services train technicians at nuclear power plants and support these facilities during power outages. Nuclear engineering services perform design, analysis and development activities which help nuclear power plants comply with regulatory requirements from agencies such as the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Nuclear repair and replacement services are authorized to repair or replace parts and controls at nuclear facilities. They can also supervise the installation of instrumentation and provide advice about plant modernization. Nuclear disposal services specialize in the pickup, handling, transportation and disposal of nuclear waste. Other types of nuclear services perform radiation audits, radiation safety officer (RSO) training, nuclear product training, depot repair, leak tests, and technical support.
Selecting nuclear services requires an understanding of the differences between nuclear field services, nuclear engineering services, and nuclear repair and replacement services. Nuclear field services are licensed radiological inspection services that use robotic, remote-controlled, and non-destructive test (NDT) equipment to identify potential problems that could cause power failures and fueling outages. They test and inspect steam generators and reactor components, and clean and maintain pressurized water reactors. Nuclear engineering services help nuclear power plants comply with regulatory requirements and reduce operational costs. Using various analytical methods, these nuclear services perform structural and thermohydraulic calculations. They also provide expertise in fire protection, radiation protection and environmental issues. Nuclear repair and replacement services repair and replace critical system components, and may also provide automation services.
