Refrigeration systems for Nuclear

In France, nuclear power plays a major role in electricity generation, providing energy independence and low-cost energy with low greenhouse gas emissions.

The nuclear industry represents a complex and risky operating cycle, from enrichment to fuel reprocessing, from the production of nuclear energy to the storage of radioactive waste. Equipment safety is therefore fundamental at every level, especially in the electrical rooms that house the control systems essential to the operation of nuclear infrastructures.

Nuclear cycle infrastructures, from uranium mining to waste treatment, include critical equipment whose failure can have serious consequences. Aware of these challenges, Cap2i puts its expertise at the service of nuclear players to design, manufacture and maintain air and fluid handling solutions that meet the most stringent regulatory requirements, in particular those defined by theASN (Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire).

In terms of both design and manufacturing, Cap2i provides detailed documentation to guarantee the transparency and reliability of its air and fluid handling solutions. The aim is to justify every choice made during the design phase. At the manufacturing stage, the aim is also to prove the qualifications of our specialized operators and the quality of the materials used. This includes the delivery of material certificates, exhaustive supplier documents and specific lists requested by customers (AIP, LOFC etc.). Indeed, during the assembly of Cap2i's various solutions, every action is carried out by qualified operators and then checked by specialized inspectors, so that we remain vigilant. Cap2i is therefore committed to ensuring precise and exhaustive traceability of all its activities of importance to nuclear safety.

The sector is firmly framed by a series of conformities that must be known and respected in order to maintain nuclear safety. Cap2i adapts to these different requirements and takes into account changes in directives, so that we can always provide a professional, high-quality service. In addition to the general certifications associated with our core business (ISO 9001 - CE standards - PED, etc.), we are in the process of obtaining ISO 19443 certification. Our operators are also safety-trained and authorized to access nuclear sites(HN1, RP1, CSQ authorizations). Finally, our solutions have passed various K3 qualifications (seismic resistance, etc.) as well as environmental qualifications (EMC, functional, etc.).
