Hydro International -
Newton Labs has developed and deployed a laser scanning product specifically designed to operate underwater, in-vessel, within either PWR or BWR reactors.
The device, the NM200UW Nuclear Underwater Laser Scanner, designed in partnership with a major US nuclear utility, produces a point-cloud output so detailed that when utilised with industry-standard three-dimensional software a full measurable CAD model can be generated.
“This is a very exciting new product for the nuclear industry.” stated John W. Bramblet, president and CEO of Newton.
“The need has existed for some time to be able to produce precise measurements and dimensions in-vessel. The NM200UW, when used in conjunction with 3D software, provides fully measurable CAD models of the internals.
In addition, its ability to provide precise dimensioning of features, cracks, welds and other areas allows trending that was never before possible.” he added.
