A unique offer in Europe for the qualification of nuclear equipment
Naval Group, the European leader in naval defence, and Cetim entered into a technological cooperation agreement aimed at creating a European reference in nuclear equipment testing.
Creating a unique offer for the qualification of nuclear equipment in Europe and intended to industrial manufacturers, such is the ambition of Cetim and Naval Group with the technological cooperation agreement entered into on the 27 thof February 2019. With this agreement signed by their representatives, namely Emmanuel de Lauzon, the Manager of Cetim’s site of Nantes, and Jean-Luc France, the Manager of the Naval Group’s site of Nantes-Indret(see photo), the two partners intend to foster the development of services by implementing a joint offer based on the pooling of their expertise and the industrial resources of the European naval defence leader.
A partnership already very strong
For several years, Cetim has been providing its customers with a specific testing offer that relied on the availability of Naval Group’s nuclear testing facility. The services are carried out, in particular, with the water/steam test loops and the hyperbaric chambers dedicated to the simulation of equipment used at depths of over 2,000 meters. This certified tool allows the European naval defence leader to test components of nuclear steam supply systems installed on board its submarines, components such as gates or valves.
This agreement is a win-win deal which will open new horizons with a joint offer. For Naval Group, “by pooling our commercial and industrial forces, we will meet the requirements of our skill retention policy and strengthen our development dynamics”, says Jean-Luc France. And for Cetim, “this offer supplements our range of testing services for the nuclear sector and confirms our expertise in this field”, says Emmanuel de Lauzon.

With product modelling and simulation potential solutions can be virtually optimized before they are really implemented. We tend to set up a more efficient design by taking fatigue life into account and optimizing safety factors within a fiabilist approach. The main goal is to achieve much shorter development deadlines. Major improvements are experienced in the field of simulation dealing with more and more complex and multi-physical phenomena.
This technological focus includes projects relating to : fiabilist design of products, functional requirement and performance qualification checking, analysis methods based on customer needs, design of clean and silent products, simulation of product behavior and operation.
