Roxtec secures Chinese nuclear power projects

Nuclear power plant engineers all over the world appreciate the superior sealing features of Roxtec cable and pipe seals and specify Roxtec solutions to ensure protection against fire, gas, and water. A good, recent example of the Roxtec success in the nuclear power market is China, where Roxtec has won five major supplier contracts in just three months. China Nuclear Power Engineering Co has ordered cable seals for the Taishan Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2 in Guangdong as well as for the Hongyan river, Yangjian and Ningde projects. The projects include Areva EPR as well as Chinese CPR units. Roxtec seals are to be used in the structures of the reactor island buildings for three main reasons. The seals will be part of the compartmentalized fire protection system. They will protect against possible flooding within the plant or from the outside. And they will keep walls air tight in order to minimize the risk of uncontrolled releases to the environment.
