Cost effective fuel storage
NETNETCO-SNAP-IN® - is a patented neutron absorbing product that replaces lost reactivity control or augments installed neutron absorbers, extending the useful life of fuel storage racks. SNAP-IN inserts are installed in fuel storage cells using simple tooling, which is operated above the pool from the spent fuel pool bridge. Once installed, SNAP-IN inserts become an integral part of the fuel storage racks, allowing fuel to be readily moved in and out of the storage locations. SNAP-IN inserts provide a cost-effective solution to neutron absorber degradation and higher enrichment fuel storage at a fraction of the cost of a re-rack.   More...
 
Neutron absorption testing
HydraNut siwth metal sealsNETCO's neutron absorption testing and fuel storage confirmation solution - BADGER is a computerized, in-situ scanning system that measures the condition of neutron absorbing materials like Boraflex. It offers the only quantitative technique for assaying the neutron absorption performance of spent fuel racks. BADGER testing complies with NRC guidelines for uniformity testing of spent fuel storage, verifying the adequacy of neutron absorber materials while confirming required storage rack performance (RACKLIFE) calculations.  More...
