Trillium France recently signed a significant contract with a French power company to supply equipment required for additional qualification tests on the SEBIM equipment installed on the French fleet. This order includes all equipment requested to be qualified, spare parts and dedicated test tools.
The objective of this project is to test the functional performance of the company’s SEBIM valves with respect to the modifications made since their initial qualification in 1989 by the French Nuclear Safety Authority. The qualification process includes testing in borated water, which will take place at Trillium France’s Saint Victoret plant steam loop, among other laboratories.
