Nuclear qualification and seismic testing

Servotest systems support laboratory qualification, component validation, plant commissioning and advanced nuclear R&D programmes, helping customers meet demanding seismic, mechanical and safety-related equipment testing requirements. Key applications include:

• Seismic qualification testing of safety-critical equipment, systems and support structures, aligned with IEEE 344, IEC 60980 and related nuclear requirements.
• Shock, vibration and high-energy dynamic transient testing for mechanical and structural components, including applications linked to ASME QME-1 and ASME Section III qualification expectations.
• Flow-induced vibration and acoustic fatigue testing for reactor-related components and assemblies, supporting dynamic fatigue, fretting and vibration assessment within nuclear component qualification programmes.
• Mechanical operational ageing and fatigue simulation to support end-of-life qualification, including test sequences associated with IEEE 323 and ASME QME-1 programmes.
• In-situ plant commissioning dynamic tests for installed piping, structures and plant systems, supporting pre-operational verification, power ascension testing and guidance such as IAEA SSG-67.
• R&D testing for new nuclear technologies, advanced reactor programmes and specialist qualification centres, helping customers develop evidence for regulatory review by authorities such as ONR, US NRC, CNSC and IAEA member-state bodies.
