The remote uncoupling solution quickly and easily separates control rod drives from the control rod blade.

It replaces a hydraulic jack with a remote actuator and allows experts to monitor the operations away from under the vessel area.

In its first deployment, our remote uncoupling tool reduced dose by approximately 40 percent over previous inspection solutions.

Using GE’s FastWorks product development approach, in-house 3D printers produced prototypes in just hours as opposed to previous development cycles of months speeding our ability to meet this critical customer need.
