Are you considering taking part in the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors, or do you want to conduct research on a new reactor? Do you want to refresh your knowledge and discover the latest insights? Do you want to supply the plant’s developers or builders?

NRG can help dispel the uncertainty about the future behaviour of materials in a nuclear environment, whether they be metal alloys for components, claddings or new fuels. The results of our irradiation experiments and post-irradiation analysis allow you to look into the future, enabling you to work safely and reliably on the nuclear power plant of the future.

You are working on the new generation of nuclear plants; we are working to dispel uncertainties and ensure nuclear facilities can operate safely.

NRG has the facilities and the expertise you need to conduct representative tests. Once your materials have been irradiated in our High Flux Reactor, you can take a peek into the future. We achieve material ageing in a conditioned environment within a reasonable time period, allowing you to make firmly based undertakings about the behaviour of your material in future practice. The results of our research help you grade your products and ensure safe operations, both now and in the future.

Background

All over the world, plans for dozens of new nuclear power plants are being developed. NRG is contributing its knowledge and skills to several major international projects. Its technicians are conducting safety analyses and inspections, and grading tests and practically oriented R&D are taking place at the NRG complex in Petten.

NRG’s High Flux Reactor generates levels of neutron radiation up to ten times higher than commercial reactors. Your irradiated test samples are then transferred to our hot cells and laboratories for post-irradiation analysis. Our experts analyse the results and report exclusively to their client. This allows you to demonstrate that materials have the right properties to ensure the safe continued operation of these nuclear plants into the future.
