Electrical Penetration Assemblies from SCHOTT: The Choice for Safety

摘要

The Safety of Nuclear Power Plants is of utmost importance to all stakeholders involved. This is why government bodies, power plant designers and utility companies take extra care and choose the best materials and technologies available when deciding on the key features of a new power plant. Electrical Penetration Assemblies (EPAs) are one such key component, as they allow for the safe conduction of electricity through the fire-protective, pressure-resistant and hermetically sealed containment walls of nuclear power plants. In case of an accident, they also prevent steam, pressure and radioactivity from escaping.
