Nuclear power plants
In the early 1970’s, Kleyfrance has developed anti-whip restraint solutions for nuclear power plants, in partnership with CEA and Areva (formerly Framatome).
These systems serve to prevent sudden whipping of steam pipes of reactor cooling circuit. In case of pipe failure, a significant amount of energy would be released by steam under pression. In order to face this hazard, anti-whip devices are designed to efficiently absorb this energy, ensuring the damage would not be further propagated to the rest of circuit / plant.
Kleyfrance is also able to provide special piping supports erected
in the reactor building of NPP.
