The new electric penetration assemblies and conductor adaptor module assemblies from Mirion are replacing existing electric penetration components at the plant in stages over the next several years. The Cofrentes nuclear power plant went on-line in 1984.
Electrical penetrations from Mirion’s Conax Nuclear product line provide an engineered conduit to permit the passage of electrical and fiber optic cabling through a reactor’s containment vessel, while maintaining its integrity.
Iain Wilson, president of the sensing systems division at Mirion Technologies, said: “We are very pleased to receive this contract from Iberdrola. Our electrical penetrations are currently installed in over 290 of the 436 operating nuclear reactors throughout the world and we look forward to continuing to supply this critical safety equipment to our customers.”
Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay area, Mirion Technologies is a portfolio company of American Capital. The company provides radiation detection, measurement, analysis and monitoring products and services to the nuclear, defense and medical end markets.
