Your resource for decommissioning and specialty tooling for nuclear reactors.

The tools and machines we have designed have been used successfully in nuclear facilities around the world since the early 1980's. Our designers and project managers have been key parts of teams that have taken on some of the most difficult tasks in the nuclear industry. From the early underwater Thermal Shield repairs to the recent dry segmentation of highly irradiated reactor internals, we have been there.

With our background it seemed logical for us to make a concentrated effort at being the specialists for decommissioning nuclear reactors.

Why should you consider us? We have the advantage of being a small company. This allows us to move faster, cheaper, and more efficiently than a large company. Our designers get out of their offices and work hands-on with their machines. Our Segmentation and Packaging Plan authors have been field Project Managers. We know of no other company (large or small) that can offer this for you.

Our current staff can supply you a Segmentation and Packaging Plan, specify the required tools, design the tools based on lessons learned, fabricate these tools, test these tools on our mockups, and train your technicians or ours. All this can be done in our Chicago facility. And if we team with some of our previous partners in the industry, we can provide anything else you require to decommission your reactor safely.

Reactor Decommissioning and Dismantlement History
Because our team members have been involved (design, planning, management) in several reactor internals segmentations and nuclear reactor decommissionings, we often are asked what process was used and where. It seemed logical that we have a list of what processes were used to remove reactor internals, which reactor vessels were segmented or removed intact, and other aspects of nuclear reactor decommissioning and dismantlement.
