Decommissioning & Waste ManagementNuclear power plants have
a fi nite lifespan. When it’s time to consider decommissioning, you
want an experienced team to guide you through your plant’s end of
life. SNC-Lavalin is one of the few fi rms in the world with the
technical know-how and experience from start to fi nish of the
decommissioning process.
As a Tier-1 nuclear vendor with signifi cant experience in life
extension projects, we bring tangible expertise to the table.
Whether it’s the design and supply of facilities for dry storage of
spent nuclear fuel, decommissioning plans, environmental
assessments and impact assessments or shielding analysis &
design and custom tooling, our nuclear experts get the job
done.
Preparation is key
CANDU® reactors require mid-life retubing, where the fi rst step
is a controlled decommissioning of the reactor vessel and disposal
of reactor internals. Our team has executed every one, gaining key
learnings and incremental improvements project over project.
N
We now have the institutional history and knowledge, as well as
the project management, design and tooling expertise, to ensure
your decommissioning project is handled safely, cost-effectively
and to schedule.
Quality guaranteed
We have the distinction of being Canada’s fi rst engineering and
construction company to be authorized by the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to construct nuclear-class items under
an N certifi cate of Authorization.
We maintain 10 certifi cates from Canada’s Technical Standards
& Safety Authority to conduct our pressure boundary program and
are compliant with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s 10 Code
of Federal Regulations’ 50 Appendix B Quality Assurance criteria.
We also hold several ISO, CSA, BSI and IAEA quality assurance and
quality control qualifi cations.
