Heat treatment for nuclear applications

ECM Technologies has recognized expertise in the engineering and manufacture of thermal treatment facilities for nuclear applications and within restrictive regulatory frameworks.

In this sector, the key markets are primarily the treatment and conditioning of waste from the dismantling of nuclear facilities but also furnaces for heat treatment at various stages of fuel cycle.

 

ECM’s dedicated nuclear projects team is organized to ensure a high level of confidentiality, operating within a regulatory framework based on project quality assurance plans (PAQP) with a dedicated quality inspector and facility design that complies with nuclear codes and standards. The nuclear team works in a restricted access area and on an isolated local network.
