ProSIM contributes to the Nuclear Design Code Harmonization efforts by World Nuclear Association.

A Group Photograph of 4th CORDEL workshop of world nuclear association on “Harmonisation to support operation and new build of nuclear power plants (NPPs)” held At Lyon, France hosted by EDF and Framatome. Dr Shamasundar, Managing Director of ProSIM presented a paper on “Comparison of Nuclear Codes and standards for Seismic Evaluation of NPPs systems”. Paper described experience at ProSIM on seismic analysis. Comparison of nuclear design codes as per ASME B&PV (section III), RCC-M, and PNAE – G7 codes was used for validation of high temperature tank (pressure vessel).

Dr Shamasundar, ProSIM, visited the factories of FRAMATOME at St. Marcel, and Le Creusot in France, along with select delegates of CORDEL workshop. At these sites, FRAMATOME manufactures and assembles critical components of nuclear power plant including nuclear reactors and steam generators the Visitors were given detailed explained the process involved in design, design evaluation, seismic qualification, safety considerations, followed @ FRAMATOME to ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs).
