THE IMPORTANCE OF NDT IN THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY

Nuclear technology is now used in numerous fields, ranging from energy production to medical, industrial, scientific, and defense applications. Any failure in nuclear infrastructure or equipment can have severe consequences, both for human safety and the environment. The inspection of various nuclear components and applications is therefore of paramount importance due to the high demands for safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

CMS Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) solutions provide unparalleled reliability, precision inspections, and ensure facilities are safe and compliant with the strict standards and requirements of this sector. Our Eddy Current and Ultrasonic systems will help you identify and detect defects early in critical structures, such as cracks, corrosion, or material inclusions, to prevent radiation leaks or reactor failures.

CMS EXPERTISE

  • Defects detection: surface, subsurface, internal, external, transverse, longitudinal, oblique defects, holes, cracks, corrosion…
  • Conductivity measurement
  • Dimensional and thickness measurements
  • Tube weld inspection
  • And much more…

Combined Eddy Current and Ultrasonic inspection is also possible for more complete control.

All our Ultrasonic and Eddy Current systems meet the requirements of current European and international standards ASME, ISO, EN

Our dedicated teams are available to collaborate on your project, working with you to develop an efficient, customized solution that addresses your specific needs ans constraints. 

 MAIN ADVANTAGES

  • State-of-the-art inspection NDT systems: CMS systems are fully customizable to suit the specific product being inspected, as well as your detection requirements and constraints. Robust and compact, they are able to work in harsh environment.
  • Member of Nuclear Valley Community: This membership of the Nuclear Valley community establishes us as French experts in the nuclear sector. In collaboration with over 300 members, we promote the emergence of innovative, competitive solutions for the civil nuclear industry.

  • Early Defect Detection: CMS systems help identify cracks, porosities, inclusions, or other internal or surface defects with high sensitivity at early stages of production.
  • Preservation of Material Integrity: CMS NDT systems allow the inspection of nuclear components without altering them, meaning they can continue to be used after testing.
  • Enhanced Security: By identifying weaknesses in nuclear applications, CMS systems reduce the risk of accidents or catastrophic failures, especially in critical industries.
  • Production Quality Control and Certification: CMS systems ensure parts comply with strict industry standards and better management of industrial risks.
  • Real Time Inspection: Thanks to our high-performance CMS software, inspection results are displayed in real-time ensuring continuous quality control.
  • Precise defect analysis and traceability: Comprehensive inspection reports with complete traceability tracking are created at the end of the control.
