Design a laboratory in a nuclear environment
Define, design, build, and commission nuclear laboratories while integrated standard or high-tech analytical equipment.
1
Challenges
Clearly
define
with the
flow
requirement
s, frequency, and type of analysis
with the operator
Identify equipment
that must be
adapted or modified
to meet:
Analysis needs
for radioactive solutions/effluents/sludge/solids
Requirement for
guaranteed equipment lifepan
under irradiation conditions
Need to
protect operators and facilities
from irradiating and contaminating materials
Proper
process operation, quality objectives, regulatory authority obligations
and
regulation
Analyze organizational and human factors
to enable operators to work under appropriate safety, security, and ergonomic conditions

Key Features
50+ years of experience
in
designing and operating laboratories
across the
fuel cycle
: La Hague, Melox, CEA, and Tricastin sites in France, as well as ore concentration sites, Rokkasho and Fukushima in Japan, Sellafield in the UK, and MFFF in the US
Laboratories in operation
(product quality, RCD and DEM, operational monitoring, environment, medical, asbestos)
Online process monitoring
(FXL, spectrophotometer, etc.)
Multiple nuclearized analysis techniques
for liquid or solid samples (ICP-MS, K-EDGE, FXL, gamma spectrometry, SSA, furnaces, etc.)
ALARA approach
and ergonomics consideration for adapting analysis systems in enclosures
Mix of specific
engineering and operator
expertise
Centers and infrastructure
(HEF, HRB, HRP, CIME) enabling virtual/augmented reality implementation,
