More recently – namely on April 26, we recalled another sad date: 33rd anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. Third century … This is the third century human civilization eliminate the consequences of the fatal mistake!
Worth reminding that after the accident it was accumulated a large amount of radioactive wastes at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In addition to them, in connection with the start of works for dismantling the infamous 4th power unit and decommissioning of units №№ 1-3, in coming years it is expected the delivery of additional volume of contaminated metal structures and other materials that after decontamination can be reused. In order to automate the process for the release of the said metal from regulatory control under the auspices of the European Commission the project “Creating the facility to release materials from regulatory control on the Chernobyl NPP (U4.01/11E)”.
As a result, from April 29 to May 3, 2019 representatives of “Ukratominstruments” corporation participated in the factory tests of the main equipment of the above mentioned project which was held in the Czech Republic, at the premises of the “VF as” company. The test was attended by representatives of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and the European Commission.
During the tests, special attention was paid directly to the stationary unit for the release, namely- FRM-03: the basic functions for the measurement and identification of the contamination degree of radioactive materials was demonstrated. Also participants were shown the work of installation of security systems. In general, the tests were successful. The follow-up stage is delivery of the equipment to the site, installation, commissioning, acceptance testing on site. But this will be provided in the following news. Keep an eye on the process!
Thus, not without pride we can state that the “Ukratominstruments” corporation retains membership in a very prestigious club of the liquidators of the Chernobyl disaster.
