Description

With the objective of improving weld quality, reducing outage times, and minimizing integrated dose, Electricite de France (EdF) and Comex Nucleaire (CxN) have developed a number of advanced remotely controlled welding systems. Three such developments are described, two having been used operationally and the third being qualified for use in the coming months. The three developments involve replacing pressurizes heaters, replacing fuel charge head sleeves, and real-time interactive welding
