In 2013 NPO designed and built a custom Core Barrel Shield for Palisades Nuclear Plant in Covert, MI. The shielding was implemented in Palisades’ 23rd refueling outage and was a great success. The story of the project’s success spread in May 2015 when the Palisades plant was recognized during the Nuclear Energy Institute’s best industry practice […]
One year ago we introduced our new ability to simulate complex radiation profiles and thereby design the most effective shielding possible (‘NPO uses MCNP to simulate Dry Cask’, March 2016). Since then we’ve designed and built more than a few shielding systems using this new ability. Now the day has finally come where we can […]
Some NPP’s process Dry Casks in a such a way that the entire cask produces a general area dose concern. To reduce these dose rates NPO developed a shield package that sits on the floor and shields the cask to a height of 9 feet (2.74 m). NPO is currently under contract to provide shield […]
