As Europe intensifies its efforts to relaunch its nuclear industry and ensure safe and sustainable energy production, the issue of nuclear safety becomes more than ever central. In this context, nuclear instrumentation plays a fundamental role in ensuring the control, monitoring and security of facilities. ...
Some of the most critical measurements in fields like air monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and high-precision manufacturing happen at the edge of what sensors can detect. In these settings, accuracy depends not only on advanced instrumentation but on careful calibration at the lowest measurable levels. Sensor calibration at ultralow levels turns barely perceptible signals into dependable data. ...
Radiation is an invisible yet critical phenomenon encountered in many industries, from medical diagnostics to nuclear energy and industrial applications. For professionals working in these environments, understanding how to measure and respond to radiation is essential. This is where radiation simulation devices play a vital role. These innovative tools provide a safe and controlled environment ...

Source: Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMU) However, when airing the apartment ...
This system can be used in a variety of applications ranging from dose monitoring in nuclear power plants to risk-assessment of nuclear waste drums coming from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Keywords: neutron; safety; helium-4; ...
In fact, many of the technologies that play a major role over the outlook period can be directly traced back as far as an intensive period of post-war energy innovation in the 1950s. In that decade, solar PV, nuclear, gas turbines, LNG and hydraulic fracturing all made their debuts on the energy scene. ...
Read more about the eddy current testing of chiller tubes Industry-Specific Eddy Current Advice Eddy current testing is used in a broad range of industries, including the manufacture of medical devices. Subject to rigorous safety regulations and compliance burdens, companies must take special care to perform accurate tests and maintain complete documentation. ...
Steam generator tubes are among the most vital safety barriers within pressurized nuclear reactors (PWRs), and underlying defects can degrade the tubing material and damage the entire steam generator, causing severe problems that can endanger crew members and the public. Using cutting-edge eddy current testing (ECT) instruments and techniques fosters more ...
So why don’t the United States and other countries expand their nuclear capacity? The reasons are economics and fear. New nuclear power plants are hugely expensive to build in the United States today. ...
The agreement also makes US Nuclear a 10% equity owner in MIFTEC with the potential to increase its stake in the near future.With US Nuclear being designated as the exclusive manufacturer of the MIFTEC isotope generators, US Nuclear expects to be a major market participant in the US$10B worldwide industry upon reaching final testing and ...
