Nuclear Power Stations
ROV GNOM makes inspections of some parts of nuclear power station and reactors, such as water-supply systems, checking condition of radio-active waste and walls of reservouars, old nuclear fuel in reservouares (pools). Our company delivered 2 GNOMs to the company Rosenergoatom.
GNOM was also used in Kara sea for monitoring of sunken old nuclear fuel containers near Novaya Zemlya (expedition of Ministry of Emergency Situations in 2006). It provided monitoring of sunken containers with nuclear wastes - a visual survey and measurements of radiation were also done. For this, the underwater Gamma-spectrometer made in Kurchatov Institute was mounted on a ROV, GNOM brought it into sunken containers, then measurements were done and data were written into the memory, then GNOM returned back to ship and data were uploaded to PC.
