Nuclear Safety Instrumentation and Control

Ekium supports you from initial specification through to certification by the local Nuclear Safety Authority.

Need support?

For over 30 years, we have been supporting major players in the nuclear sector (EDF, CEA, ITER, ILL, etc.) throughout the entire lifecycle and safety management of their nuclear safety control and monitoring systems, from the initial specification phases through to qualification by the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN).

This expertise is structured around six main areas:

1- Qualification of Smart Devices

Conducting a comprehensive analysis of the Smart Device (e.g., smart sensor) to ensure it meets the requirements for use in a classified nuclear safety system.

2- PLC Qualification

Conducting a comprehensive and structured analysis of the PLC to ensure it meets the requirements of IEC 61513 for use in a nuclear safety-classified system.

3- Functional Qualification of Control and Command Systems (C1/C2/C3)

Support for suppliers or designers of nuclear safety-classified control and command systems (IEC 61513) throughout the safety lifecycle.

4- Environmental qualification of electrical equipment (K1/K2/K3)

Supporting our clients in demonstrating that nuclear safety control and command system equipment is capable of withstanding environmental stresses.

5- Nuclear risk analysis

Supporting our clients during the early phases of the lifecycle to manage nuclear risks.

6- Requirements Management

Supporting our clients in implementing requirements management processes and deploying REQTIFY.
