Onet Technologies works at CEA Cadarache to repair REEC 03 tank
Following the detection of a leak at the bottom of the REEC 03 tank at the CABRI facility, making its continued operation impossible, CEA Cadarache decided at the end of 2021 to call on Onet Technologies.
The service provided by our company (DISR) involves locating and repairing the leaks in the sheet metal bottom of the REEC 03 tank by welding.
As an option, an inspection of the welds on the bottom of the REEC 04 tank is also requested. This service includes a complete penetrant test of all the welds on the double bottom, as well as a leak test of the double jacket.
Studies were carried out as early as December 2021, and the worksite was able to get underway in February.
Onet Technologies (DIS2D) is also present on site as a subcontractor for logistics operations and radiation protection assistance.
This is not the first time our teams have worked on this tank: in 2017, they carried out an underwater repair of the tank using scuba welders.
