The work, executed in March 2019, <\/b>was a crucial milestone for GDES France. Not only because of the pioneering nature of this service, but also because it introduces GDES France to EDF as a service provider for works in controlled areas. The goal of this project was to develop and certify a process that will remove iron oxide and silicon fouling from the visible parts of the tube plate.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4844 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/05\/52508.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"352\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/05\/52508.png 352w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/05\/52508-300x135.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/>The objective, within the framework of the ten-year inspection of the RHR exchangers, was to obtain a visible surface that enables defects and deterioration, such as corrosion or the appearance of cracks, to be detected without an increase in deposits on the non-visible parts of the plate. This service was carried out under the control of the\u00a0<b>Autorit\u00e9 de S\u00fbret\u00e9 Nucl\u00e9aire<\/b>(French Nuclear Safety Authority), since it was a novel service for EDF. The inspection of the RHR exchangers is carried out every 10-20 years and an intervention of this type has not previously been executed. The service contracted to GDES France\u00a0<b>was carried out under an approval testing phase to verify efficacy, safety and mode of operation<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>After completion of the works, the services provided by GDES have been rated by EDF as a success.
