The Power Generation Technology Group at Newton
Labs is specifically focused on supporting the electric utilities industry and the evolving nuclear renaissance.
The group's
emphasis is to introduce new technology, software and hardware to further automate the processes and equipment within this sector and
to provide the individualized customer service that vendors within the industry have come to expect.
The NM200E Core Verification
System
The NM200E Core Verification System uses Newton-developed computer vision algorithms
to accurately measure the positions of all fuel assemblies in a PWR nuclear reactor and compare them with ideal positions (supplied
by the reactor operators). The result is detailed, accurate measurements of all S-Hole locations, allowing reactor personnel to determine
if there will be any issues with the installation of the upper internals.
The NM200E marks a significant improvement over traditional, video only gap measurement mapping techniques. Its software
enables the precise global mapping of fuel assembly S-hole positions, including any degree of misalignment or top nozzle rotation.

The NM200UW Nuclear Underwater Laser
Scanner
- The system measures underwater targets to an accuracy
of +/-.0004 (0.01mm)*
- The NM200UW is able to scan a target as close as 6 in. (150mm) and out to a distance of 3 ft. (0.9M) for a scan coverage area of 2.1 ft. x 2.9 ft. (64 cm x 88 cm)
- A precision point cloud is developed that can be processed
to produce an accurate CAD model (with the use of third party 3-D software)
- The system is designed to scan and capture much larger target areas by combining several point clouds together to form larger composites
- The measuring head is watertight and pressure tested to
150 ft. (45.72 m)
