Nuclear power plants, other equipment

REEL supplies cranes for different reactor buildings


  • 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.

  • Grafenrheinfeld in Germany
  • 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.
