1975-1983

NUCLEONOVA personnel has actively collaborated with the Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant (Spain), during the design, recruitment and evaluation of companies, electrical assembly and instrumentation, mechanical and civil works.

Negotiation of contracts during the construction of the power plant. Participation in the design of the quality system and in the systems transfer since the construction phase.

1983-1985

Participation in the initial stages of the nuclear power plant: pre-operational and system testing, systems availability analysis, systems control in coordination with Operation, set-up of electrical systems and control of operational electric activities.

1985-1995

Participation during the operation of the nuclear power plant in the procurement activities, reception of materials, engineering and design, software, maintenance, laboratories (equipment calibration), documentation control, records and archiving centre management and Environmental issues.

1995-2007

Participation in the design and engineering activities assigned to the project, computer applications, electrical maintenance, radiological protection, evaluation of suppliers, design of the supplier control system -SCS-, implementation and follow-up, interrelationships with the parent company of the Group and purchases for SCS application in any company.

Likewise, NUCLEONOVA took part in the Suppliers Evaluation Group (GES) of the Spanish Nuclear Power Plants (CCNNEE), being an interlocutor of these in front of the NUPIC (Nuclear Procurement Issues Committee), of international scope.
