Areva offers Novinium cable life-extension tech to nuclear industry

17 March 2014


French company Areva has signed an exclusive agreement with Novinium to offer cable rejuvenation technology and related services to the nuclear industry.

Areva will offer Novinium's technology for the injection of fluid into the cabling, which it says can extend cable life for 'a fraction of the cost and time it takes for traditional cable replacement'.

The partnership is the first alliance to provide nuclear power plants with a safe, innovative and cost-effective solution to extend the life of cable infrastructure, Areva claims.

"Nuclear plant operators will now have streamlined access to the same proven methods which hundreds of Novinium's customers worldwide have come to rely on for increasing cable reliability," said Glen Bertini, Novinium's president and chief executive officer.

Last year, Siemens announced that Califex, its cable-life extension service for insulated, medium-voltage cables, had taken up a licence for the use of Novinium technology.
