What is Nuclear Power?
Nuclear power offers many benefits for the environment as well. Power plants don’t burn any materials, so they produce no combustion by-products. Additionally, because they don’t produce greenhouse gases, nuclear plants help protect air quality and mitigate climate change.
WHY IS IMPORTANT?
Despite potential drawbacks and the controversy that surrounds it, nuclear energy does have a few advantages over some other methods of energy production. The production is inexpensive, reliable and doesn't create greenhouse gases.
While nuclear energy does have some emissions, the plant itself does not give off greenhouse gasses. Studies have shown that what life-cycle emissions that the plants do give off are on a par with renewable energy sources such as wind power. The WNA reviewed several studies and concluded, "Greenhouse gas emissions of nuclear power plants are among the lowest of any electricity generation method and on a life cycle basis are comparable to wind, hydro-electricity and biomass." Low greenhouse gas emissions can be very attractive to some consumers.
WHAT WE DO FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
Ayvaz supplies both metal bellow and rubber bellow expansion joints for piping systems of the hot water and steam lines of the Turbines as well as the penetration seals for reactor and boiler houses. We possess required for Nuclear Power plants and calculate all our expansion joints keeping with Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU; we are CE-certified up to category III. The design and dimensioning are performed in accordance with all applicable international standards such as DIN, ANSI, AWWA and BS. Special dimensions can easily be accommodated at the customer’s request.
Ayvaz penetration seals were developed to address many problems associated with penetrating the shell of a boiler or similar pressure casing. Penetration seal is a bellows expansion joint that offers a complete seal that eliminates the leakage of heat and other emission, reduces noise and protects maintenance personnel.
