Nuclear

Governments are increasing their focus on nuclear power to meet growing energy demands, while achieving environmental goals with reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Nuclear energy is a cost-effective, clean and reliable source of electricity, and continues to be a significant share of the power generation mix.  Increasing numbers of new nuclear plants are being constructed worldwide and now stands at its highest in 25 years.
 
Safety, quality, performance and reliability are vital. From the design and construction of a new plant to its operation and maintenance, the nuclear industry is subject to stringent regulation throughout a site's lifecycle. Adequate quality assurance activities from vendor surveillance and initial design and construction, and commissioning, with appropriate equipment regulatory and safety certifications are essential to have long term reliability and safe operations. At the same time, aging nuclear plants and changing operating regimes require operational and condition assessment of the equipment.
