Tractebel Engineering provides operational support to nuclear installations around the world. Value for customers, independent expertise and experience with most equipment vendors and regulatory systems put us in an ideal position to assist you with the safe and cost-effective optimisation of your nuclear power plant.
Our support services record reflects our commitment to excellence. Examples include the world-class operation results of the seven PWR units in Belgium, for which the average annual load factor currently exceeds 90 %, and the achievement of dosimetry world bests during steam generator replacements.
Benefit from our operational support services notably in four areas: safety, nuclear fuel, operation and maintenance, and plant upgrades.
To ensure the safety of your facility, we can deal with analysis and reassessment processes, power uprates, plant life management issues, as well as licences and permits.
In the area of nuclear fuel, customers rely on us to handle all aspects of fuel procurement and core management. This includes start-up physics tests, core monitoring and managing spent fuel.
We are available to perform reliability analyses, develop predictive maintenance strategies, organise stocks and supplies, and arrange for simulators and training as part of our operation and maintenance support.
And should you wish to renovate or upgrade an installation, we can facilitate and manage the whole process - from nuclear and balance-of-plant systems design to civil works, including process control, electrical and mechanical engineering.
