## NUCLEAR QUALIFICATION &

SEISMIC TEST

#### Precise seismic and dynamic testing for nuclear qualification

## Nuclear qualification and seismic testing

Servotest systems support laboratory qualification, component validation, plant commissioning and advanced nuclear R&D programmes, helping customers meet demanding seismic, mechanical and safety-related equipment testing requirements. Key applications include:

- Seismic qualification testing of safety-critical equipment, systems and support structures, aligned with IEEE 344, IEC 60980 and related nuclear requirements.
- Shock, vibration and high-energy dynamic transient testing for mechanical and structural components, including applications linked to ASME QME-1 and ASME Section III qualification expectations.
- Flow-induced vibration and acoustic fatigue testing for reactor-related components and assemblies, supporting dynamic fatigue, fretting and vibration assessment within nuclear component qualification programmes.
- Mechanical operational ageing and fatigue simulation to support end-of-life qualification, including test sequences associated with IEEE 323 and ASME QME-1 programmes.
- In-situ plant commissioning dynamic tests for installed piping, structures and plant systems, supporting pre-operational verification, power ascension testing and guidance such as IAEA SSG-67.
- R&D testing for new nuclear technologies, advanced reactor programmes and specialist qualification centres, helping customers develop evidence for regulatory review by authorities such as ONR, US NRC, CNSC and IAEA member-state bodies.

Servotest hexapod, octopod and MAST platforms reproduce realistic earthquake motion across multiple axes, supporting testing against 'operating basis' and 'safe-shutdown' earthquake requirements.

Our systems deliver precise, repeatable and traceable results, enabling customers to reproduce complex multi-axis motion, shock and vibration profiles in controlled laboratory and qualification environments.

From new facilities and upgrades to specialist seismic qualification programmes, Servotest provides the actuation, control and simulation expertise needed for demanding nuclear applications.

Every qualification programme has unique technical demands. Servotest works with customers to define and deliver solutions matched to their test objectives, performance requirements and facility constraints.
