PCI is a recognized industry leader in providing Sump Strainer regulatory compliant solutions for BWR plants. Our success was proven when we were selected for 15 of the 35 U.S. BWR plants to resolve RG 1.82 Rev 1; by GE for the supply of Lungmen Units 1 & 2 in Taiwan, and then for the first 3 BWR units implemented in Japan by TEPCo.

We continue to lead the industry with our ECCS Sump compliance solutions and are now preparing for future regulatory bulletins based on In-Vessel Fuel Assembly Blockage research for BWR plant reactors. New generation BWR Sure-Flow® Strainer concepts are currently being developed to meet future fiber bypass requirements and changes proposed in RG 1.82 Rev 4.

By combining our innovative GSI-191 compliance solutions with our experience as the #1 strainer supplier to the U.S. BWR industry, PCI is again poised to be the world’s leader in BWR strainer compliance solutions as requirements are defined.
