Forging, casting and machining of heavy components - Assessment

Customers, safety authorities and inspectorate pay particular attention to high-dimensions casted parts composing the pressurized primary loop of the nuclear steam supply system. Strict technical specifications and regulatory rules are applicable. Framatome Le Creusot facility proposes one of the few forging and casting facilities worldwide qualified for so highly-complex nuclear plants components: carbon-steel vessel shell ring and vessel bottom head, steam generators, stainless-steel main coolant pipes parts, primary pumps casing and reactor vessel internals.
