Brought about by climate change and the ballooning population, the search for clean energy alternatives has prompted governments to find a balance between economic and environment sustainability. One way to do this is through the construction of nuclear energy plants. Viewed as a reliable energy source, the use of nuclear power has seen support across the globe, with over many reactors constructed across 15 countries in the last decade.

As the world moves away from traditional fossil fuels towards clean energy alternatives, demand for nuclear power has risen. With both developed and developing countries expanding and refining their nuclear programmes, energy providers are faced with the challenge of producing plants that comply with national and international quality and safety requirements while remaining on-time and on-budget.

Through ISO 19443 qualification, Sealmatic assures project owners of their nuclear power plant’s safety and resilience in any event.

Sealmatic has tight safety regulations throughout its supply chain. ISO 19443 certification demonstrates that Sealmatic’s quality management system (QMS) combines best practice in quality with the specific requirements of the nuclear industry. It also shows the quality and reliability of the processes as well as focusses on areas for development and continuous improvement.
