Decommissioning case studies
Orano USA partners with Tri Tool to develop a custom engineered solution to remotely sever underwater jet pumpdiffusers in Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor vessel Tri Tool was tasked with assisting with the removal of 20 underwater jet pump diffusers contained in a highly contaminated environment. To safely sever the jet pump diffusers, Tri Tool had to develop a specialty tool that could be lowered down 70 feet underwater and remotely cut each diffuser in half mounted on the OD. Then, Tri Tool had to develop an additional ID mounted machine that could sever the other half of the pump.
German Machinery Trading (GMT) Co., Ltd. uses multiple split-frame clamshells from Tri Tool to accelerate the decommissioning of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant in Japan During the second stage of the decommissioning project, Units 1 and 2 of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant require the dismantling of surrounding equipment and of equipment in the turbine building. Therefore, personnel need machining solutions that can quickly and effectively dismantle equipment to minimize high-radiation exposure.
