Containment Vent
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s
containment hardened vent provides a
GEN III and Gen III+ leveraged design for
post-accident containment overpressure
protection. The standardized design
provides plant independent component
specifications and overall system design
specifications leveraging state-of-the-
art methodology scalable to specific
containment and plant types. Through
the use of GEH’s NRC approved TRACG
family of codes the standard specifications
can be readily made plant specific.

LED Light
Remote Ocean Systems
has
introduced a revolutionary High
Performance LED Light for Nuclear
Pools. The HP LED Ultra High-Intensity
White LEDArray is 4 times brighter than
standard pool lighting. In addition, this
new technology LED light is significantly
more cost efficient because it uses 50%
less energy and lasts more than three
years.
The brilliant 40,000 Lumen “White
Light” illumination of the ROS HP
LED will enhance the ability to detect
and prevent Foreign Material Exclusion
(FME) problems and increase operational
safety at the same time.
The rugged, stainless steel design is
shock and vibration proof, contains no
mercury and installs quickly and easily
in the same locations with no tooling
needed.

Multi-D Technology
Rosatom
is developing Multi-D
technology
for
engineering
and
construction of NPPs. This technology
enables carrying out detailed modeling
of construction and installation processes
based on 3D-object models, which
significantly increases quality and speed
of work performance.
Multi-D object models enable
visualizing construction processes and
training personnel based on this model
before going to site. This technology
enables testing various scenarios of
work performance and correcting the
sequence of work performance promptly,
informed General Director of Rosatom
engineering company OAO NIAEP –
ZAO Atomstroyexport Valery Limarenko
in Nizhny Novgorod at the international
theoretical and practical forum dedicated
to life cycle management of complex
engineering objects.
This technology is already in use
at sites in Russia where OAO NIAEP –
ZAO ASE operates. Presently NPP life
cycle management at engineering and
construction stages is carried out bymeans
of Multi-D technology. Furthermore
currently Multi-D is being prepared to
be used at the next NPP life cycle stage –
decommissioning.
