New challenges proven solutions and innovative systems for accident mitigation

A1283

With its wide presence worldwide, and engineering resources in all continents, Framatome has worked closely with utilities, supporting them in their safety assessments. Framatome provides a structure for analyzing safety issues after Fukushima, and for assembling the solutions needed to address them. This framework is structured around three imperatives: resistance to major hazards, robustness of cooling capability, and prevention of environmental damage.

Safety in operation

You have to demonstrate that your plant’s systems and functions are fulfilling the requirements of safety authorities. Framatome provides safety analysis solutions to support you when reviewing your design requirements, including customer training. We also provide emergency preparedness, including emergency power supply, radioprotection, and fire protection solutions and expertise. In addition, we either propose safety system upgrades or demonstrate that the current design meets all new requirements.
