Thermal Shield Flexure Design and Installation at
Salem Unit 1

Through the inventive use of neutron noise monitoring, teams at PSEG Salem 1 discovered component degradation much earlier in the inspection process. This led to additional preparation for a complex replacement procedure, saving them time and cost.

Westinghouse CE Vendor Award Winner:

Use of Hyperspectral Imaging for the Identification of Boric Acid and Other Types of Materials

Arizona Public Service teams raised material-related inspections to a new level by leveraging hyperspectral imaging. Thanks to Palo Verde’s innovative approach, nuclear plants around the world can benefit from using hyperspectral imaging to detect boric acid in concrete more efficiently.
