Power Generation - NuclearNuclear plant

 

High pressure waterblasting can be effectively used in the nuclear power generation industry in many ways including:

  • Cutting structural steel, piping, and vessels in the power generation industry
  • Decontamination of fuel capsules, hand tools and equipment
  • Scale removal from boiler tubes
  • Removing failed components for failure analysis
  • Gain access for cleaning and maintenance
  • De-commissioning of plant and sites
  • Clean Heat Exchangers – Usually during once per year outtage
  • Clean Condensers – 2” ID x 50 ft.
