Scope Of Work
B&D performed the complete electrical and data installations for 33 Items Relied on for Safety (IROFS) in Assay Unit 2 of the Separations Building Module (SBM). This was B&D’s second IROFS project at the URENCO USA Facility. The Assay Unit is where the final enriched uranium product is blended and tested. While these processes are designed to run with great precision, there is a risk of overheating and over pressurizing the product if certain systems or equipment fail to operate properly. IROFS are the fail-safe circuit interrupters designed to shut down processes that exceed their design criteria for heat and pressure.
