World dzԹ,

AREVA Inc. has signed an agreement with Novinium® to provide patented rejuvenation technology to the nuclear industry.

This partnership is the first of its kind in the industry, and will provide nuclear power plants with a safe and cost-effective solution to extend the life of underground cable infrastructure.

Cable rejuvenation technology

As part of its dzԹForward AlliancedzԹ program for the optimisation of nuclear power plant safety and operations, AREVA will offer NoviniumdzԹs Ultrinium™ fluid using its patented sustained pressure rejuvenation (SPR) injection method for nuclear power plant applications.

NoviniumdzԹs cable rejuvenation technology restores the full dielectric strength of a cable to like-new condition, and extends the life and reliability of these cables for a further 40 years at a fraction of the cost for a traditional cable replacement.

Safety and reliability

Tom French, senior vice president of Reactors and Services at AREVA, commented: dzԹAt AREVA, we take every opportunity to better serve our utility customers. With Novinium as a partner, our customers will have access to a technology that can improve the safety, performance and long-term reliability of their cable infrastructure, an important consideration when renewing licenses at nuclear power plants.dzԹ

dzԹNuclear plant operators will now have streamlined access to the same proven methods which hundreds of NoviniumdzԹs customers have come to rely on for increasing cable reliability,dzԹ added Glen Bertini, NoviniumdzԹs CEO.
