Nuclear power plays a vital role in supporting the environment and regulatory guidelines to reduce greenhouse emissions. It is critical to maintaining the safety, performance, and reliability of nuclear power, as it is essential in the Energy market.
Element's laboratories offer a range of new build, life extension, and decommissioning services to support the nuclear sector. Our world-class quality assurance, asset integrity, and failure analysis capabilities make certain that your materials and components are fit-for-purpose.
New build nuclear power plant testing
Our experts ensure quality assurance activities from initial design and construction through to commissioning. We have regulatory and safety certifications to ensure long-term reliability and safe operations
Life extension of nuclear power plants
Effective management of the structural integrity of a plant is key to ensuring it remains safe and productive. Failing to do so can cause loss of production, severe environmental impact, and in the worst case, result in a loss of life.
Decommissioning nuclear plants
Nuclear decommissioning is an administrative and technical process that must adhere to strict environmental regulations. Element are leaders in materials testing and can test the integrity and weld strength of equipment used to house nuclear waste.
Our services:
- Mechanical testing
- Weld testing services
- Non destructive testing
- Fracture toughness testing
- Corrosion testing
Element also performs Fitness For Service (FFS) testing, Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA), and conducts monitoring and operational assessments to minimize risk and extend the life of your assets.
The Element advantage
