Chell Appoints Exelon PowerLabs as Leak Rate Monitor Distributor for USA

Thomas P Pessa, Exelon's Business Development Manager said “Exelon PowerLabs enjoys a position of prominence in the nuclear power industry based upon the historical quality of its calibration and test performance. The Exelon PowerLabs Nuclear Quality Assurance Program is responsive to Federal Regulation 10 CFR 50 – Appendix B and the parallel nuclear industry quality standard, NQA-1.

Additionally, the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) has recognised Exelon PowerLabs calibration laboratory competence through accreditation to ISO17025. These accreditations are critical for safety related calibrations as defined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and necessary in order to calibrate leak rate monitors for use by nuclear power stations”.

Chell's LRM range of leak monitors were developed in conjunction with UK power station test engineers, who were already using Chell's AIM, Air Ingress Monitors and ILITS, Impulse Line Integrity Test Sets. Every measurement made by the sensors and transducers within each instrument is calibrated in Chell's UKAS calibration laboratory accredited to BS/EN/ISO 17025 and having some of the lowest uncertainties available commercially.

Nick Broadley, Chell's Managing Director expressed his delight at the signing of the Agreement, “Chell sought a high-profile distributor who understands the business and brought the same level of customer support as Chell – in Exelon, we've found a perfect match”.

The combined capability of Chell & Exelon in both pre- and post installation support and calibration ensure that every user achieves the lowest possible uncertainty of measurement on his plant
