Qualification of Actuators - IEEE 382 Project Objective The client required qualification of a range of actuators under a significantly compressed schedule, requiring testing to be completed within a 6 week period, compared to the typical 12 week duration—a 50% schedule reduction. Equipment Qualification testing of actuators was performed in accordance with IEEE 382, and included aging (thermal, radiation, cycle, and vibration), seismic testing, and DBE (Loss of Coolant Accident). Testing was completed successfully within the required timeframe by conducting extended shifts and 7 day work weeks, thus meeting the clients’ expedited schedule. Kinectrics was selected by the client to perform the work based on its Equipment Qualification (EQ) expertise, nuclear industry knowledge, and advanced
