AECL/EACL - Returning the NRU to Service

Video Update: Dave Godfrey, Project Director at The Welding Institute (TWI) based in Cambridge, UK

With 35 years experience in a range of industrial sectors, Mr. Godfrey shares his expert commentary on AECL’s NRU repair strategy, describing the process as “the most complex” repair upon which he has been engaged. (April 14, 2010)

Mr. Godfrey compares the NRU repair to “the engineering equivalent of keyhole surgery”, the difference being that you can open a patient back up if you make a mistake, but with the NRU you can’t take the top off and go back in – “there is no margin of error”.
