No matter the type of nuclear facility, management of hydrogen gas is crucial to safe operation. Framatome has extensive experience using passive autocatalytic recombiners (PARs) as a solution to the industry challenge of hydrogen management, installing over 160 PARs in commercial power plants.
Engineers are always striving to improve on their designs, no matter how successful. Framatome’s experts have established a track record of consistent innovation while keeping solutions for customer challenges front of mind.
Framatome USGS was contracted to perform work on the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Idaho National Laboratory (INL) as part of the organization’s plans to expand capacity and evaluate extending operations beyond 2040.
