Nuclear Power Concrete Technology

We also contribute to building expertise in the nuclear industry, the government, universities and high schools. Our program includes both doctoral projects and contract research. The focus of the research is to:
• investigate local climates in the reactor inclusion to identify environments that cause degradation and affect the density of the enclosure
• develop tools for studying clamping cables and sealing plates
• verify calculation tools used in the reactor inclusion
• investigate safety-related issues in the waterways
