Lainsa a company specialized in the nuclear industry and part of Grupo Dominguis was awarded the provision of complementary radiological protection services for Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant (CNC) during the 18th refueling which took place between September 25th and November 10th of this year. Lainsa has already provided this service in the past, in prior refuelings of the Valencian facility as a subcontractor, but this is the first time that Iberdrola Generación S.A. has awarded this service directly to Lainsa.

A professional team of 43 Lainsa’s experts has worked for more than one and a half months at Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant complementing the work done by CNC’s radiological protection services, in which the Grupo Dominguis’ company has extensive experience from its participation as a subcontractor of the prior awarded company.

Lainsa, the subsidiary company of the Dominguis Group, specialists in industrial cleaning and decontamination services for nuclear power plants and radioactive facilities, has organised, together with other institutions, the II Health and Radiation Symposium (II Jornadas sobre salud y radiaciones). The conference, which was held last June in Teruel, aimed to bring together the different laboratory studies that use biological dosimetry and to introduce the new equipment and advances in food-borne radioprotectors. The meeting was organised by Lainsa, the Official College of Doctors of Teruel, the La Fe hospital of Valencia and Iberdrola.

Marcelo Soto, the director of the Radiological Protection Technical Unit of Lainsa, represented Dominguis Group in the organising committee of this symposium, which lasted over three days. During that time, issues of great interest were dealt with, such as the results of cytogenetic studies on children from the Chernobyl area, metabolic therapy in nuclear medicine or the biological effects of non-ionizing radiation.

Lainsa has developed the Atomic Snail, an equipment for underwater decontamination of nuclear reactor vessel flanges, which represents an important advance for the nuclear sector because it allows process automization and, consequently, a dose reduction in and greater safety.

This pneumatic propulsion system is operated remotely and moves at a constant speed with the hability to move both forwards and backwards.

While moving, it sweeps the surface of the flange and it vaccums the working area of the brushes, in order to then filter the vaccumed fluid and retain the loosened particles.

By carrying out the cleaning remotely from the refuelling platform, an important reduction in the operational doses associated with this activity is achieved.
