Commercial Grade Dedication

This is the process of approving a "commercial quality" product for a nuclear safety-related application. While manufacturers of approved nuclear equipment will frequently qualify their own equipment, it is also possible to supply commercial quality equipment for a safety-related application via commercial grade dedication. This service can be provided and performed in accordance with EPRI NP-5652.

We can provide seismically qualified instrumentation of all types (mechanical, electrical, electronic) for most nuclear requirements. The seismic qualification is supported by comprehensive documentation (qualification plans, procedures, and reports), all of which are subject to prior customer acceptance.

Reverse Engineering

When necessary, obsolete instrumentation can be replaced with reverse-engineered equivalents. These are typically designed to be form, fit, and functionally equivalent to the original installed components, meeting or exceeding the performance requirements of the product.

Item Equivalency Evaluations, prepared in accordance with EPRI NP-6406, are used to document and evaluate any changes to the original configurations. In addition, full functional testing and commercial grade dedication in accordance with EPRI NP-5652 is performed based on the safety-related function of the instrument.
