Nuklearna Elektrarna Krsko (NEK) has awarded Tecnatom a contract for the performance of control room habitability testing at Krsko nuclear power plant, in Slovenia. This contract strengthens our relationship with the Slovenian plant, where we have carried out a number of projects in recent months.
The objective of this new contract is to ensure that in the event of an emergency situation arising, the control room would be isolated from any outside filtrations, allowing the operators to continue their work inside.
The work will begin with a visual inspection and a detailed analysis to identify the control room ventilation systems and tracer gas injection points. For the performance of this project, Tecnatom will specify a procedure based on the ASTM E 741-00 standard; “Standard Test Methods for Determining Air Change Rates in a Single Zone by Means of a Tracer Gas Dilution”.
Within the framework of this contract, Tecnatom will receive support from the local company Q-Techna, with which we have already collaborated in previous projects in Slovenia.
The awarding of this contract consolidates the presence of Tecnatom in NEK and the international expansion of the group in Europe. Along with the supply of valves, the inspection of control rods and the design and manufacturing of the control room, this new work highlights the wide portfolio of services that Tecnatom is providing for Krsko nuclear power plant.
