ValvTechnologies, Inc., manufacturer of zero-leakage, severe-service isolation valve solutions, in partnership with MetalTek Energy Products, supplied Slovenian-based, Nuklearna elektrarna Krško, d.o.o. with valves and strainers on their Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) upgrade project.
The equipment will play a critical role in the upgrade of the plant’s emergency backup power system, similar to that which failed at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi Plant during the March 2011 nuclear accident resulting from the earthquake and tsunami.
