Within EDF's Technical Department, based in Chinon, France, we have two EMIA920V2 carbon/sulfur elemental analyzers, one in a conventional area and the other in a restricted area. These analyzers are used specifically to verify the chemical grades of steels and nickel alloys as part of expert assessments following equipment failures, as well as to monitor the aging and effects of irradiation of certain equipment used in EDF's nuclear power plants. These analyzers are also used to verify the chemical composition of steels and nickel alloys in the manufacture of equipment for future nuclear power plants.
The carbon/sulfur analyzers we have are robust and deliver highly accurate measurements. From a maintenance perspective, our feedback is also positive. Our HORIBA representatives are responsive and provide us with expert advice whenever we request it.
