PRZOOM - /newswire/ - West Midlands, United Kingdom, 2016/04/19 - Joint integrity specialist Hydratight has launched a Nuclear app for iPads which allows greater understanding of how nuclear partners can reach their (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) ALARA objectives - Hydratight.com.

Users will be able to view different areas of a nuclear facility and understand how Hydratight tools can enhance the customer experience. It is available free from the App Store.

Gavin Coopey, Global Nuclear Market Leader, Hydratight, said: “We’re delighted to have created this additional tool to provide our customers with an added reference and touch point. The app allows users to gain a deeper understanding of the solutions available for use in Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPVs), Steam Generators or Pressurizer areas.

“It demonstrates applications for many of our products and services in these and other areas of a plant. It also highlights the successful results achieved by use of past products and allows users to contact Hydratight representatives directly.”

The iPad app uses a speciality animation to capture the essential maintenance work being carried out in some of the world’s largest power plants. It also allows users to view Hydratight’s history in the nuclear market.

Hydratight’s object within the nuclear power industry is to meet universal demands for leak-free joints through its right first time philosophy. The company supplies products and services to power plants internationally, with bolt tensioning systems, onsite machining equipment and nuclear qualified technicians.

ALARA is prevalent in all radiation safety programmes and is a regulatory requirement. It is a principle followed to minimise radiation doses absorbed by employees and to keep releases of radioactive materials as low as possible.
