Temperature Sensors
A series of
CMR Group
high
performance temperature are K3 or
K3ad environmentally compliant for
the ambient temperature monitoring of
fluid, gas and bearing temperatures in the
nuclear industry.
CMR’s AN sensor series is designed
for the temperature measurement of high
pressure fluids and aggressive gaseous
fluids used in nuclear power generation,
although they can also be used effectively
with non-pressurized fluids.
Product has been installed on the
KudankulamNuclear Power Plant located
in Tamil Nadu, India and qualified for
EPR nuclear plant technology on future
new builds in the UK on EPR Hinkley
Point and India’s Jaitapur nuclear power
project.

Contracts
Reactor Vessel
Inspections
AREVA NP
signed a contract with
Entergy Nuclear to conduct scheduled
inspections of the reactor pressure vessel
internals at Unit 1 of theArkansas Nuclear
One (ANO) power plant in Russellville,
Arkansas.
For these inspections, AREVA will
use non-destructive examination (NDE)
techniques, including ultrasonic and
visual examinations, to evaluate the
reactor vessel internals. The objective
of these inspections, scheduled to take
place in the fall of 2016, is to verify the
effectiveness of the facility’s existing
aging management programs to ensure
long-term equipment safety, performance
and reliability. AREVA will complete
this work in accordance with the Electric
Power Research Institute’s Materials
Reliability Program (MRP)-227.

Used Fuel Storage
AREVA TN
, an AREVA subsidiary,
recently signed two long-term contracts
worth more than $200 million with U.S.
utilities for the supply of used fuel storage
solutions.
Under these agreements, AREVA
will supply its NUHOMS
®
dry-
shielded canisters, designed to store
fuel assemblies from pressurized water
reactors, including high-burnup, short-
cooled fuel. The company will also
supply the NUHOMS
®
horizontal storage
system, which will house the canisters on
the customers’ sites. The system’s robust
design offers industry-best earthquake
resistance, thanks to its side-by-side
concrete structures.

Radiation Monitoring
General Atomics Electromagnetic
Systems
(GA-EMS) announced that the
company has been awarded multiple
contracts to deliver Radiation Monitoring
Systems (RMS) to support the U.S.
nuclear power plants required to conform
to Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) Order EA-13-109,
BWR Mark I &
II Reliable Hardened Containment Vents
Capable of Operation Under Severe
Accident Conditions
, which calls for the
installation of reliable radiation monitors
and Hardened Containment Vent Systems
(HCVS) at plants with Boiling Water
Reactors (BWR) with Mark I and II
containments
per
post-Fukushima
Daiichi safety recommendations.
There are currently 27 U.S. BWRs
which require the HCVS modification. To
date, GA-EMS has received RMS orders
for installation in 18 units in plants across
the U.S. GA-EMS is also working with
plant operators internationally to evaluate
RMS requirements for facilities looking
to install a HCVS in effort to align
themselves with the U.S. NRC safety
guidelines.
The NRC Order is a direct result
of lessons learned from the Fukushima
Daiichi accident in 2011. The installation
