We can offer experience in the following fields:
Handling alpha bearing materials (plutonium, americium, californium, etc.) at Sellafield’s MOX and other plants (and thus broadly conversant with criticality hazards)
LLW, ILW and PCM packages and movements
Glovebox operations (alpha and beta-gamma materials)
HA Cave/cell remote operations and man entries
Low, medium and high active liquor transfer in pipelines and storage in vessels/tank farms
NaK fires at Doureay’s DFR
Type B, Type A and LSA RAM package movements at Windscale
Fuel and other HA material handling and storage at Windscale, with associated intermediate and low level waste materials
Flask drop assessments
Emergency Arrangements, exercise planning and reporting.
Various studies into reactor and legacy plant long term care and maintenance and decommissioning
Berkley ILW waste vault retrieval design project
Uranium Hexafluoride production and handling
MOX, AGR & Magnox fuel production
Non-nuclear experience includes fluorine production, aqueous hydrogen flouride piping systems, cryogenic gas storage vessel safety assessments (the latter required a methodology to be produced first which was approved by the Dounreay MSC)
Written appointments to sit on Management Safety Committees, Plant Modification Proposal Committees, external independant peer reviewer for Windscale Pile 1 Category C & D safety cases.
