Engineering

We carry out equipment and system deliveries of nuclear facilities as well as modification works in accordance with customer needs in the demanding regulated environments. We do the necessary feasibility studies, design, manufacture, put into operation and provide technical support – either step by step or as a turnkey delivery. To support projects, we also bring high level licensing and qualification expertise, which are used to ensure com-pliance with authority requirements.
Our business is customer-oriented, based on close and flexible cooperation with both our customers and our reliable manufacturers. We use our own high-quality design exper-tise, knowledge of the requirements of the nuclear industry, and the passion of our ex-perts to produce innovative, safe and efficient solutions.

In the production of nuclear energy, material containing radioactive substances is created, which must be reliably isolated from the environment and made harmless to humans and living organisms. We want to be involved in ensuring that the burden effect caused by nuclear energy production is as small as possible.

Platom has decades of experience in expert tasks related to the handling of radioactive waste both in Finland and abroad. Our customers are nuclear facilities, research institutes and industry outside the nuclear power sector.

Making waste management more efficient does not always mean significant investments, but waste treatment solutions must be adapted to the operating environment in a way that is best suited, taking safety aspects into account. Platom’s radioactive waste management service includes expert services with a wide coverage.

Our radioactive waste management experts support our customers:

• In various surveys and planning
• In preparing technical specifications and requirement definitions
• In the preparation of procedural instructions and personnel training
• In equipment deliveries

Our services cover the entire life cycle of nuclear facilities, from planning and licensing to use, decommissioning and dismantling. We strive to improve the safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness of waste handling.

The suitability of the systems of nuclear facilities and the mechanical, electrical and automation equipment belonging to them for their purpose and location must be verified based on objective evidence. Platom does according to customer needs:

• The necessary preliminary investigations
• Maps the real need and nature of the qualification work
• Prepares the required change work and official documents, such as structural plans and suitability assessments
• Helps create programs and plans for environmental qualification.

Platom specializes in implementing uranium hexafluoride (UF6) processing and sampling systems for the needs of the nuclear fuel industry. We have delivered around 30 autoclaves and solved our customers’ uranium processing challenges for 20 years.

The advantages of the autoclave technology developed by Platom include e.g. process speed based on efficient heat transfer and the possibility of using several different types of uranium cylinders (for example ANSI 48 and 30B) in the same autoclave. With these features, our customers benefit from better process speed and lower investment costs.

Our autoclave systems are safe even in seismically sensitive areas, and each product is fully customized according to the customer’s needs. In the design and delivery of the equipment, we take into account the safety and quality requirements related to uranium processing as well as the requirements related to licensing and qualification.

In addition to autoclaves, we also implement cooling and cylinder handling systems that can be seamlessly integrated into the plant’s other systems. We offer comprehensive solutions that guarantee our customers easy dealings with one service provider.
