Nuclear Power

Meeting the exacting demands of nuclear facilities is the diamond standard for an engineering service provider, and Goltens has become a preferred supplier of Emergence Diesel Backup Generator (EDBG) repair services to the nuclear industry, delivering services to multiple plants around the United States.

Emergency Diesel Backup Generators

EDBGs are critical to the safety of almost every nuclear power plant globally. During normal operation, a nuclear plant supplies the power required to operate cooling and other critical safety systems and is backed up from power supplied by the grid. When a plant suffers a casualty that precludes supplying these systems itself and there is a LOOP event (loss of outside power) which keeps the plant from using power supplied from the grid, these EDBGs immediately come on line to ensure the plant has the critical power it requires for a controlled shutdown. As such, having these generators available to take full load 24/7 is critical.
