Our patented TruPro® technology delivers a high-impact service in nuclear decommissioning by providing precise profiling and characterization of materials. This innovation streamlines the decommissioning process, reduces waste volumes, and minimizes project risks, setting new standards in the industry.
The TruPro® system revolutionizes the characterization of nuclear facilities, addressing key elements like reactor core components and waste materials. Our technology's advanced sampling and analytics provide unprecedented accuracy in identifying radiological inventories. The result is streamlined waste management, reduced waste volumes, and lowered project risks.
The development and implementation of TruPro® as an upfront characterization process step defines the best alternative for the facility's final dismantling and decommissioning phase. The development of the detailed decommissioning plans includes the post-closure safety case that requires verification of the radiological inventory. The majority of the radiological inventory within the nuclear power plant facility is associated with the activation of reactor core components, calandria, zircaloy pressure tubes, the concrete biological shield reactor vault, and the heat transport and the moderator system, which contain activation, fission products, and tritium surface contamination because of historical fuel pin ruptures and failures.
The advantage of TruPro® is that your company and nuclear site clients and owners can perform the upfront nuclear power plant sampling and characterization with confidence and data set credibility to allow governments and international nuclear regulators to move forward with the nuclear-decommissioning strategy clearly defining the risks and liability for activated metal alloy and graphite material removal from the nuclear reactor.
Our innovative methods precisely sample and analyze concrete, bulk materials, and large metal components. Our technology outperforms traditional methods by accurately identifying materials' alpha, beta, and gamma activity levels. The technology has proven its worth in determining the volumetric distribution of alpha, beta, and gamma activity levels, thereby assisting waste segregation and management. This accurate characterization ultimately leads to more effective waste management, reduced volumes of waste, and minimized project risks. TruPro® helps reduce project life cycle risks and, ultimately, the overall costs of decommissioning and dismantlement. TruPro® is particularly beneficial when dealing with facilities containing highly activated or contaminated core materials. These nuclear reactor facilities and their large, activated internal metal components have typically irradiated nuclear core materials, making them highly activated and chemically or radiologically contaminated. Decommissioning project unknowns are eliminated by better determining volumetrically alpha, beta, and gamma activity levels using TruPro® technology and approach in upfront characterization.
Key Benefits:
- Reduced waste volumes
