Nuclear power plants, other equipment

---

• Reactor building polar cranes or heavy cranes
• Fuel building auxiliary and heavy cranes
• Cranes for auxiliary waste processing buildings
• Cranes for machine rooms

REEL is involved in the modernization of these cranes, updating them to the latest earthquake resistance standards, strengthened safety standards or improved operational performance standards.

---

The techniques proposed for the lifting systems (hoists, instrumentation & control) meet the highest safety and reliability standards, supported by an optimized human-machine interface.

• Beznau in Switzerland
• Lovisa in Finland

REEL carries out all the safety studies needed to meet sub-criticality requirements and the integrity of stored fuel: criticality, earthquake resistance, drop resistance, thermo-hydraulic & radiological factors.

Our technology is based upon the separation of neutron-absorbing functions and resistance functions, using borated steel as a neutron poison and a specific design to resist earthquakes. The racks designed by REEL are also used for re-racking operations.

REEL designs and manufactures spent fuel storage racks for cooling pools.
