Power: EDF Puts THORNTON Cation Conductivity Know-How to the Test!

From Mettler-Toledo Thornton Inc.
 

 
EDF (Électricité de France) operates 19 nuclear power stations inside France with annual revenue of over €58 billion. The Product Engineering Division of EDF maintains an Expertise and Inspection Department for Manufacturing and Operation (CEIDRE) which promotes continuous improvement of operational safety and competitiveness in the field of power generation. The Center is situated at the Chinon nuclear power station in the Loire Valley in France. In 1988, a laboratory for the testing of continuous, online chemical analysis systems used in nuclear and thermal power plants was set up at Chinon with the objective of establishing technical qualification criteria for individual process analysis systems and for carrying out tests for each relative parameter under representative operating conditions. The findings in each case are described in a final report made available to all EDF equipment centers. Mettler-Toledo Thornton was invited to take part in the latest series of tests for securing approval of cation conductivity measurement instruments.
