BOËT STOPSON, A partner in the DUS project

The DUS program, Diesel Ultime Secours, was launched in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, as part of the “grand carénage” program (budget 10 billion euros). Its aim is to enhance the safety of French nuclear power plants.

 

A corporate success story for a major project!

 

One of the main measures is the installation of a 2.7 MW Diesel Emergency Generator, known as the “DUS system”, for each reactor in the French nuclear power plant. In extreme situations, this system is designed to supply power to safety systems, especially cooling systems.

It was against this strategic backdrop that BOËT Stopson was chosen as the supplier to carry out the overall acoustic study for the building, as well as supplying the 56 intake and exhaust systems for the generators.

More than 6,000 hours of engineering, including CFD, FEA and acoustic studies and simulations, have gone into the development and overall qualification of the systems (earthquake, tornado, shock wave).

More than 60,000 hours of manufacturing have been carried out in our workshops to transform more than 780 tons of certified and controlled materials for complete traceability.
Manufacturing includes all operational phases carried out by qualified personnel, as well as inspection phases in line with standards, applicable codes and specific customer requirements.

In May 2018, the last chimney left our workshops. It brings to a close the four years during which BOËT has worked to make the DUS project a success.
