- Title
Whessoe.
- Abstract
In 1979/80, orders were placed with Whessoe Heavy Engineering Ltd. for nuclear components to be used in advanced gas-cooled reactors. These orders presented Whessoe with many challenges, as the new generation of reactors had to incorporate major advances in nuclear engineering, design techniques, manufacturing methods and welding technology. Not only were Whessoe the first contractors faced with developing and implementing quality assurance programmes that conformed to these standards, but they were also involved in the manufacture of structures of such size, complexity and weight that they did not lend themselves easily to construction within the factory.
