Ultra holds class leading exceptional expertise in the development and integration of safety-critical solutions to both the commercial and military nuclear markets.
The Group has played a significant role as the protection system supplier of the first and second generation of nuclear power plants in the UK.
Today, Ultra is working with reactor designers on nuclear new build programmes around the world and is also involved in the very latest Gen IV designs.
Ultra’s approach to the specification and supply of nuclear safety systems is to develop a thorough understanding of the customer’s needs, constraints and concerns, whether they are financial, resource, project timescales or regulatory. As a result, Ultra develops timely, cost-effective and tailored based upon:
Ultra‘s knowledge and experience enables the wider Group to provide confidential, independent (from any system design, development or operational teams) safety assessment services.
This includes impartial safety assessments of processes, systems or organisations to judge if the safety requirements for the system are appropriate and adequate for the planned application and that the system satisfies those safety requirements.
Ultra supplies fibre-optic data links and contact closures for core vibration monitoring and control rod positioning applications and as backup data channels to control rooms. Fibre-optic signal transmission for process monitoring and control has been progressively adopted in recent years for critical applications such as safety shut-down systems, where there are very high requirements for data availability. Ultra’s fibre-optic modems provide complete physical layer network solutions for both open standard networks and the communications and control networks of most of the major global PLC and control system suppliers.
Ultra have been continuously supporting the Royal Navy’s submarine flotilla since the 1960’s in well over 40 years of partnership. Ultra’s role is that of equipment designer, manufacturer and through life support for the control and instrumentation suite and includes the full spectrum of system engineering disciplines, including requirements capture, architecture design, development, verification, obsolescence management, repair and qualification. In addition the Group has more than 20 years’ experience in the supply of mission-critical systems in support of the UK nuclear deterrent.
