Advanced Graphite Trepanning Equipment (AGTE)
With EDF announcing plans to extend the lives of Heysham 1 and Hartlepool until early 2026, having readily available inspection tool to assess the condition of the graphite cores is critical.
As a trusted partner to UK nuclear power station operators, our solutions operate within some of the world’s most hazardous environments. We collaborate with our clients and supply chain partners to deliver safe and cost-effective solutions to complex nuclear challenges.
Radioactive source store
JFN successfully delivered a secure on-site radioactive source store to EDF at Hinkley Point C (HPC). The store will be used to safely house a number of Special Form sealed radioactive sources, which are used for non-destructive testing, critical to the completion of construction works at HPC.
Long Reach tooling solutions
Long reach tooling solutions for the safe management of hazardous waste.
Removal of structural feature from MEB
JFN designed, manufactured and tested a long reach tool for the removal of a structural feature ,known as a “stool” from a Multi Element Bottle (MEB)
Rodman II commissioning
A replacement fuel rod recovery manipulator, RodMan II, was successfully commissioned in the Magnox Reprocessing Plant at Sellafield Ltd. RodMan II was designed, manufactured and tested at JFN’s facilities at Malton and Egremont.
Hydraulic tooling development and trials
One of the major PFSP decommissioning challenges taken on by James Fisher Nuclear was the dismantling and removal of a complex underwater steel framework.
Aqueous discharge abatement plant (ADAP)
Building a modular and transportable waste treatment plants for two discrete process streams to operate during the C&M decommissioning preparations.
Submersible ROVs
Using submersible ROVs in fuel storage ponds
Reactor isotope removal
The removal of a number of isotope cartridges from two channels within the Windscale Pile 2 reactor and placement in an approved, shielded storage package in order to progress decommissioning of the reactor.
PFSP decanner removal
Helping Sellafield safely remove a redundant piece of machinery weighing 6 tonnes from the bottom of a contaminated storage pond was the challenge presented to the team at JFN.
